Trouble is, plenty of useful stuff didn't get posted on c.b.a.s., or much more
recent versions are present on atari.archive@umich. I hope it is possible to
resolve the security issue soon so that people with mail-only access are not
cut off forever. BitFTP is at best a temporary solution IMHO. Surely it can't
be too difficult to rig up a "hacker-proof" mailer quota system. Here's cheers
and appreciation for the ST-archivers at umich for providing such matchless and
useful service, "probably the best in the world".
