Thanks Valentin for the hints about how to send mail to Bitnet addresses.

Actually, the main reason that I was unable to send the file to this user
was because I don't have the file on my work machine; only on my Amiga at home
and I don't have uucp on it yet.

Also I really can't afford the time to get into the software 
distribution business, particularly when this software is publically
available elsewhere.  I am sorry if that sounds mean but I have learned
that I can easily spend whole evenings zooing/uuencoding/zmodeming files for
single users.

If there are many people on UseNet/BitNet that are having trouble getting 
software like this then perhaps Commodore would like to provide an 
archiving and distribution service for Amiga software?  Something like
Digital Equipment does with DECUS?
