Karl Kleinpaste of Ohio State Computer Science has been generous
enough to permit me to actively maintain the unix-pc software archives
on osu-cis.  This is a big win because osu-cis (known on the Internet
as cis.ohio-state.edu) allows both anonymous FTP *and* anonymous uucp
access to its archives.

Over the next several weeks, I will be slowly moving everything from
manta's public uucp area to the att7300 area on cis.ohio-state.edu.
I will also be reorganizing the archives, building an index file, and
eliminating crufty, obsolete software packages.  Any suggestions
and/or contributions to this archive will be gratefully accepted.

A complete description of the osu-cis archives, with instructions on
how to access them, is posted periodically to newsgroup comp.sources.d.  
For those of you who may not receive that group, here's the access
protocol in brief:

This file (osu-cis!~/GNU.how-to-get) describes how to get the
following software from osu-cis via semi-anonymous UUCP:

Compress	ET++	GNU /bin Utilities	GNU Assembler	GNU Awk
GNU Bash	GNU Bison	GNU C++ Compiler	GNU C++ Debugger
GNU C++ Library	GNU C Compiler	GNU Chess	GNU Debugger
GNU Diff	GNU Emacs	GNU Emacs Ada support
GNU Emacs Franz interface	GNU Emacs Lisp Manual
GNU Go	GNU Grep	GNU Lex	GNU Make	GNU Pins & Art
GNU Plot	GNU Sed	GNU Tar	GNUS	Ghostscript	Gnews
Ispell	JOVE	KA9Q	Kermit	Leif	MIT C Scheme	Mg2a
NNTP	News	Oops	PC RRN	Patch	Pathalias
Protoize	Proxy ARP	RCS	RFCs and IDEAS
SB Prolog	Sendmail5.61	STDWIN	Smail 2.5	Tcsh

There's a lot of other available miscellany that isn't explicitly
listed here.  You can find out about it in the file osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z

How to reach osu-cis via uucp
===============================
Here is a set of L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for osu-cis:

#
# Micom switch 2400 bps
#
osu-cis Any ACU 2400 1-614-292-3124 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon
#
# Micom switch 1200 bps
#
osu-cis Any ACU 1200 1-614-292-3112 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon

Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your
local telephone system.  There is no limit concerning what hours of
the day you may call.  The new osu-cis has ten lines on the Micom
switch that all work very well, so the directly-connected 1200bps and
2400bps modems have been retired.

[...]

UNIXpc files can be uucp'd from osu-cis!~/att7300/*.  If you use FTP,
look in ~/pub/archives/att7300.

Happy snarfing!
