There are LOT'S of servers around the world (not only BITNET) accessible through simple MAIL requests (sending a Mail containing a "file request"). The advantage for you maintainers (thousand thanks to Geoff Huston!!) is that you only have to put into that archive. I really wonder why this has not be done until now... -- Eckart ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eckart Meyer Address: Schleinitzstr. 23 Inst. f.
