       06/26/1993 - Peter Deutsch
       
       Carl Malamud interviews Peter Deutsch, President of Bunyip Information
       Services and the first man known to break the speed of sound while
       talking. Deutsch was one of the co-developers of Archie, a service
       that scans anonymous FTP sites and maintains distributed databases.
       Archie allows users on the Internet to locate copies of files they
       are looking for.
       
       Peter Deutsch talks about his philosophy for services and compares
       Archie to X.500. Deutsch has been instrumental in the IETF working
       group looking to salvage what remains of the whois service and deploy
       a white pages service called whois++. Deutsch discusses the current
       status of whois++ and what kind of standards body it takes to design
       and deploy new things on the Internet.
