In article <1990Jan20.183243.3605@heights.cit.cornell.edu> 
	jiro@heights.cit.cornell.edu asks if we can put his 4 meg of converted
	sound files on the archives:

About a month ago, the entire NeXT archives @ cc.purdue.edu were 4 megs.
While I'd love to double that usage, I'd prefer to do it with more "useful"
software (no, I'm not saying that sound files are not useful, but I could
probably slap something over 500 Meg of sound files out there just with local 
people's sound files.  Cc.purdue.edu has about 5 Meg free in the ftp
partition right now, and I don't have time at the moment to make more
space.

However, the email archives are currently running off the NeXT on my desk
and maintain the source for the NeXT archives on cc.purdue.edu.  I can
offer to *temporarily* store the files there, and I may be able to do the
same for other people with large distributions which would be inefficient
to email by hand.  However, when NeXT releases source, I probably won't be
able to provide this "extra" service.

If you are interested in using this for a short-term distribution of
pictures or sound files (not to exceed about 20 Meg or so right now), send
email to next-archive@cc.purdue.edu and we can set something up.
