Are you all aware of the netlib automatic software library at
ANL-MCS (Argonne National Labs). You send a message to

	NETLIB@ANL-MCS

with the text of the message comprised of lines like:

	SEND INDEX
	SEND INDEX FROM LINPACK
	SEND PROGRAM FROM LIBRARY_NAME

and an automatic mailer daemon will send you back an
annotated directory listing and the programs you
requested without human intervention. It's a great way
to distribute software! The Alliant users group (newly
formed and still without a catchy name like ADUS or
DECUS) is setting up their software library online
at ANL-MCS in order to take advantage of the mailer
daemon. They (ANL) say they are willing to set up another
library for Apollo software. Interested? Send mail to
DONGARRA@ANL-MCS.
