I finally got the name of the catalog file, and fetched it; here it is: > The STORE! has closed. > No existing packages are available via > this mechanism as of 12/1/89 nor will > any new packages be added. > > Some of the packages previously supplied > by THE STORE! will be posted to netnews > in unix-pc.sources.

The main thing I need is HDB uucp. 'course, I would like cfront, but I can understand that AT&T might not want it being passed around. But what is the point of keeping HDB under wraps? I know many of the readers of this newsgroup are AT&T emplyees/consultants or otherwise have perhaps a little clout; would one of you be so good as to update general status of AT&T-orignating software for the 3b1? The other questions in my previous message remain open, especially, is there anyone who has gotten a TB to work in FAST mode with old uucp? Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
