My INTERNET address is bt@irfu.se. Unfortunately, we cannot FTP yet (hopefully this will change for the better in March/April 1990). Being a member of the board for the Swedish National HP Users Group (SWENUG) with special repsoinsbility for HP9000 users, I have suggested that SWEWNUG porucres an HP9000/300 and set it up as a contributed software archive supporting both FTP and UUCP. If everything work as planned, such a machine will be up within a few months. Our ambition will be to make as much contributed software as possible available on this machine. If you joinf your local Users Group and at the same time INTEREX (the international organization of local users groups) you will be entitled to get the HP Contributed Software Library for HP9000 machines. The interesting thing with this particular software is that is has been quality assured (QA) by HP!
