Thus, it is available from the mod.sources archives. If you don't archive mod.sources locally, or are new to the net, ask your neighbors. If they don't have what you're looking for, then ask one of the mod.sources archive sites (which are listed in a periodic index posting to mod.sources). Please don't clog the net with requests for, or worse -- repostings of programs which have already been posted to mod.sources and which are available through the archive mechanism. For the benefit of sites who are new to the net, here is an excerpt from the latest archive index article (August 25) I have here. ----------------------------------------------------------------- From: sources-request@mirror.UUCP Newsgroups: mod.sources Subject: v07INF2: Complete Listing of Mod.Sources Archive (index.2) Date: 25 Aug 86 20:11:56 GMT Sender: rs@mirror.UUCP ... Several sites below will send tapes through the mail. For those sites, send a 1/2" mag tape WITH RETURN POSTAGE and RETURN MAILER. Tapes without postage or mailer will not be returned. No other methods (COD, etc.) are available; please don't ask. 1. Rick Adams (rick@seismo.CSS.GOV) provides archive access to those on the Internet. Access is available directly via anonymous ftp (Outside of 9am-7pm EST M-F.) The files are in a directory mod.sources, then a sub-directory Volume[1-6]. They are named as closely as possible to the names in the Index. Files that have not been assigned a "short name" reside in the directory sources/mod temporarily. Send tape, mailer, and postage to Rick at: Center for Seismic Studies 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 1450 Arlington, VA 22209-3871 2. Internet sites may also retrieve archives from j.cc.purdue.edu via anonymous ftp (1800-0800 EST only, please). The archive is in the directory mod.sources, subdivided into Volume1, etc. Each directory will have a file named Index detailing its contents. Chances are that the archive size will grow beyond the available disk space; if it does, they will keep the most recent volume(s) in the ftp directory, while storing older volumes elsewhere. A README file will be created in the directories of misplaced volumes with instructions on how to get at sources from those volumes. This is being managed by Rich Kulawiec (Wombat), pucc-j!rsk, rsk@asc.purdue.edu. People having trouble may want to try FTP'ing to purdue-asc.arpa. 3. The CSNET CIC has been doing a fair amount of work to bring their automated retrieval up-to-speed. They now have a complete archive, and are making things available as they quickly as possible (they have special legal restrictions on what they can distribute, so everything may not be available). Look in the latest issue of the CSNET Forum, or contact the CSNET CIC at cic@sh.cs.net. 4. Pyramid Technology has an archive arranged topically, and in compressed tar files. They are happy to take new UUCP connections. They are also somewhat willing to make tapes for people to come by and pick up, provided you call WELL in advance and bring lunch money. This is being managed by Claudia Dimmers and/or Carl Gutekunst. Contact pyramid!usenet for more info. 5. Robert Elz (kre@munnari.OZ) keeps mod.sources in different ways depending on his available disk space; contact him for more info. 6. Ron Heiby has an archive on-line, and will soon have "anonymous UUCP" access; contact usenet@cuae2.ATT.COM for more info. 7. Tom Patterson at Washington University can make 800/1600/6250 BPI tar tapes. If you give him a "real good reason," he can also make 1600 BPI VMS BACKUP or ANSI tapes. Send your tape, mailer, and postage to Tom at: Engineering Computer Lab, Bryan 509 Lindell & Skinker Blvd Washington University St. Louis, MO 63130 For best results, first send mail to wucs!archive (you stand a better chance of getting processed quickly that way). 8. Jim Thompson (otto!jim) can make 1600 and 6250 tar and cpio tapes, as well as VMS backup in a real pinch. He will also provide a temporary UUCP login for interested parties (2400 baud expected soon). His postal address is: Jim Thompson 2551 Green Valley Pkwy Henderson, Nv. 89015 (702) 454-4636 9. Of course, I have a complete set of archives. I can mail individual postings, make files available for UUCP, and will send tapes (1600 BPI tar; 6250 or cpio in a crunch). Last time I checked, it cost about $5 to send a 2400' tape across the country in a padded envelope via first-class mail. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Note: the "I" in (9) above refers to the mod.sources moderator (sources-request@mirror.UUCP), not me (campbell@maynard.BSW.COM). -- Larry Campbell MCI: LCAMPBELL The Boston Software Works, Inc.
