This applies to the HP/Apollo organization. The problem is that there are
many installations with Apollos only who would be ready to support an
anonymous ftp archive - if it were possible without too many difficulties. 
Granted, there now is an ftpd version for anonymous access on Apollos, but
I know of lots of sites in Europe or Australia, who do not have access to 
the anonymous ftp sites in the US because they only have UUCP connections.
