      I'm interested in acquiring a copy of ISODE 5.0...  If a mail
      server for ISODE is available, I'd like to get the details.

   FYI - The compressed tar file for ISODE 5.0 is 3.5 Megabytes.
   uuencode or btoa that and thats alot of bytes to be mailing around.
   You may be better off looking for some place you can uucp it from.

Yes, mail-based archive servers are a rude way to distribute big
chunks of stuff and should be discouraged, perhaps even disparaged.
And true to ISO form, ISODE certainly consists of big chunks :-)

I decided yesterday that I had cause to get involved with ISODE, and
used my guest account at cis.ohio-state.edu to get it from
nisc.nyser.net.  Since it was already there, I made it available via
anonymous UUCP from osu-cis.  Write to uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu (==
osu-cis!uucp) for instructions if you need them.

Both 5.0 and 5.8b (pre-6.0, right?) are available in 100,000-byte
slices as osu-cis!~/ISODE/isode-5.tar.Z-part-?? (aa through bi) and
osu-cis!~/ISODE/isode-pilot.tar.Z-part-?? (aa through bt),
respectively.  If you're a subscriber, you'll also find 5.0 on
uunet!~/networking/isode-5.tar.Z, all 3,448,185 bytes.
