I used it yesterday. The message that they had up about the >drive being dead isn't correct any longer... it's back (I use >ange-ftp and dired inside emacs so I don't even see that message... >took me a long time to figure out why the directory listing was only >showing one file... (didn't think to read it) ;) ) wuarchive is most definately back!!! The hard disk is fixed. The archives are a little behind but catching up. (I'm waiting for the new KERMIT) BTW did you know you can mount wuarchive as a NFS server? I'm running Beame & Whiteside NFS on a DOS machine. wuarchive is mounted as drive W: (of course!). I unarc directly off wuarchive. (Heaven, I'm in heaven!) No ftping files to a local machine and then downloading to my machine. Anyone can mount wuarchive across the net. Try it, you'll like. For you DOS fans here's the B&W command to mount wuarchive: net link w: \\128.252.135.4\/mirrors have fun!! Dale Frye Washington University in St. Louis
