  If you have telnet access, then telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca, log in as
"archie" (no password), and then type "prog metaconfig".  If you don't, then
send mail to "archie@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca" with "prog metaconfig" in the text
of the message.  Both of these will give you a list of archive sites from
which you can get metaconfig.

  Alternatively, you could check the comp.sources.unix index on uunet.uu.net
(although you would have to know to look for "config" or "configure" instead
of "metaconfig") and you would find, in volume 16:

	dist2/part[01-07]	Larry Wall's Configure generator, etc.
	dist2/patch1		Larry Wall's Configure generator, etc.
	dist2/patch2		Larry Wall's Configure generator, etc.

So, uunet.uu.net is one place from which you could ftp metaconfig (in
/comp.sources.unix/volume16/dist2).
