Suggestion #3, keep doing what you are doing.  I bought a copy of the
manuals from you, and they are well worth the price.  Since I am not
on the Internet, suggestion #1 wouldn't work for met.

Now what I need is for someone like you to make the code available on
my favorite medium.  Hmmm, UUNET will sell me 600 megabytes on 6250
bpi half inch tapes for $175.  Wow.  Now what I need is the disk space
and time to do something with it all.

Thanks again to Connor for the manuals.  I couldn't print them for that.
