Message-ID: Date: 18 Jul 89 16:47:00 GMT Sender: ANU-NEWS Discussion Reply-To: Cormac Callanan Lines: 26 X-VMS-To: IN%"anu-news@ndsuvm1.bitnet",CALLANAN I know of four sites here in Ireland who are using ANU-news, with a total user population of around 50,000 persons! Unfortunately it is very nigh impossible to get a tape copy of ANU-news. One of the sites copied the executables and the documentation using PSI which is very expensive! That was for V5.7!! Since I do not have the source code we cannot apply patches and I have been very unsuccessful in locating a site willing to copy the tape and post/mail it to me. Surely, somewhere out there there must be a kind soul, who would copy the tape??? Naturally, I would be willing to pay any costs incurred. I am reading with envy all the new features which Geoff is adding but will they ever reach this side of the Atlantic??? - or Pacific (depending on your travelling direction!!) My congratulations to Geoff on an excellant product - if only all applications were as carefully written. In hesitant expectation....
