I fear I may have complicated the issue.  I just reread more carefully
the previous messages on this subject.  Furthermore, Andrew Zimmerman
just responded to my mail message (he's staying up late I guess ! :-)
Let me summarize :

1. I have mailed asm20 to Martin Calsyn, martin@iastate.edu, who
states that he plans to make an archive of 68k stuff of all kinds,
and has already downloaded a bunch of stuff.  His plan is to place
it all on iastate.edu (129.186.254.151).  I just checked this site,
and it is not yet available.

2. Brian Palmer, bpalmer@bbn.com called for an ftp site of the same
nature.

3. Michael Parent states that there is a site with a bunch of stuff
at smilodon.cs.wisc.edu, which may not be exactly what we're looking
for, since it appears to deal more with OS9.

4. Andrew Zimmerman is running an ftp site at calvin.stanford.edu,
which contains a number of motorola packages.  I ftp'd asm20 to that
site.  Andrew immediately responded and said he will place it in the
archive, but the archive may be temporarily down for a few days very
shortly.

I don't want the job of coordinating any of this, I simply want to
NOT be contributing to confusion.  I support both Martin and Andrew
in their efforts and service in making things available to the rest
of us.  I hope I have stated things accurately.  Corrections are
welcome.

Thanks,

Eric
