Well, I've seen a number of people ask about ftp sites for CBM items
in the last few months, but no mention of actual sites. So I am going
to propose a slightly different archive - an email based one. 

I already am running such an archive for users of a particular realtime
operating system, so adding CBM support would not be hard. The archive 
works very simply - one mails a request to the server, which then sends
the requested item(s) via email. 

Now the hard part - it would need something to go into it! So if people
are interested I need to know --

1> Is there enough demand for me to proceed?

2> Are there enough items to go into the archive to make it viable?
