I am only a DECUS member since last year, and not yet a DECUServe
subscriber (and I doubt I will be able to keep up with those
fees, here a grad. student barely have to eat and rent).

Moreover, unfortunately I do not have access to internet through
the old PDP-11/23 with RX02's only I have to use for my research,
neither by ethernet to the backbone here, nor by modem yet, not
to mention being without a decent software that allows binary-FTP's
for this machine. I know of some software available from DECUS
library but it seems to me outrageous to pay almost $40 for just
a program (the pack has about 15 different versions I won't be
using, I would be using only one program) that it is supposed to
be public domain.  BTW this machine uses RT-11 monitors XM and SJ
only.

On the posting by dsroberts@beckman.com I inferred that now
DECUshare was going to be available to ALL members in a similar
way as DECUServe, perhaps at a different rate (could it be smaller?)

Thanks for replying to the former posting (<15659@ccncsu,colostate.edu>)
I am beginning to feel this group as helpful.

Thanks,
