I would be happy to make a VMS SHARE file of the source and mail it out. WARNING: It will be about 40-50 parts. I can also create a MFTU file of the Backup save set and mail that. I have a program that will re-assemble the parts (73 of them if I remember correctly). You will need MFTU (which I can send you) and my program to put things back together. I have done this in the past and it seems to work reasonably well. If I ever get some free time I am going to contact the postmaster at uunet and see if they will update their version to V5.9 (they currently have V5.4 available). That should take care of the uucp only sites. You can also send me a 9 track tape, along with enough US postage to return it to you. I have never actually mailed a package internationally, so I don't know what problems there might be with customs, etc. -- USmail: Bob Sloane, University of Kansas Computer Center, Lawrence, KS, 66045 E-mail: sloane@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu, sloane@ukanvax.bitnet, AT&T: (913)864-0444 "The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage." -- Mark Russell
