I'm maintaining an A/UX archive on wuarchive.wustl.edu. Currently it only contains the GNU ports that I and David Berry have done; I'm planning to start carrying a copy of every package posted to or pointed at by postings on comp.unix.aux Real Soon Now. There is an Incoming directory for uploads and I encourage everyone to use it. >It seems to me that apple.com with its ftp and uucp connectivity would be a >good start; is anyone planning to provide an incoming upload area for such >submissions there? Apple does have a machine for A/UX support: aux.support.apple.com. It looks like it's set up to do exactly what you want: uucp or ftp, archives of comp.unix.aux, pd software, and Apple's fixes to A/UX. However, it also looks like it's just getting set up. When it gets fully up and running, I'll mirror its contents on wuarchive. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
