I'd also like to encourage folks to make files available to your local user community and/or the net at large to help reduce the overall load on the volunteer archive sites (you know how it goes: if someone with clout gets upset, there go the FTPable archive sites .... :-) maybe the folks at SUMEX could retrieve a copy and add to the pool of available sites?! it's really a shame when connections time out after 450k of a 500k file are already transfered. if that happens, get the 64k fragmented and hexed pieces from either NCAR or TANK, please... -- --------------------------> please send REPLIES to <------------------------ INTERNET: uhrig@mcc.com (if unavailable: werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu) UUCP: ...!milano!werner ALTERNATIVE: werner@astro.as.utexas.edu OR werner@utastro.UUCP
