     We also have a very nice and I believe somewhat unique set
of files on BIX.  In fact, I have a feeling it must be fairly
unique because some of the things you guys seem to be working on
are things we might have already.

     What's 'spew'?  I've never heard of that one before.
I should say that I'm still hoping to finish a "free standing"
port of 
tar which won't require libraries beyond those from Tandy.
I haven't done it yet though.

     If you mean for OS-9 68K, we already have rz/sz/zmodem.
If you mean for 6809, I'll be very happy to see this too.
Xmodem we've had for some time now though, in many languages.
