What you are complaining about is the removal of your current user interface to getting those files. Since you are a uunet subscriber, you can still have the files ftp'd by sending an email request to ftp-request@uunet.uu.net, rather than to bitftp@whatever. All that's changed is the syntax of your request, something that is hardly worth bitching about. -- Lyndon Nerenberg VE6BBM / Computing Services / Athabasca University atha!cs.athabascau.ca!lyndon || lyndon@cs.athabascau.ca Packet: ve6bbm@ve6mc.ab.can.noam As a math athiest, I should be excused from this. --Calvin
