I thought that it would show up every month or so. Since I don't have FTP access, it would be nice to get it here. -- Regards... __ ___ __ |__) |_ ) |__| |\/| {joe@bram.UUCP} Joe Saladino @ |__) | \ | | | | Corporation {verdix!bram!joe} -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- verdix_____________ Home (503) 626-9991 tektronix___percy__\___bram Office (503) 626-2772 reed_______________/ FAX (503) 626-5766 gnu.emacs.sources is for people to post reasonably small enhancements to GNU Emacs. Posting the full source of Gnu Emacs would put a load of over 10 meg on the each Internet link it flowed over. Roughly a days worth of USENET traffic right now. This is not polite, and is frowned upon by many. You don't see the full source of any other program posted monthly, and (almost ?) all other source postings are much smaller then this. You can ask gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for pointers to ftp and anonymous uucp sites. You can then call up a uucp site and transfer it. gnu@prep can also tell you how to order a tape. enjoy -len
