Unless someone has a nice way for UUCP-only sites to ftp something from
Intenet sites, *please* don't assume that sending it to an Internet site will
make it available to everybody.  Many's the time I've waited for some program
announced on the net to be posted... only to find, in the next Info-IBMPC

Which makes it TOTALLY inaccessible to me, as I have neither an account on
an Internet machine nor friends with such.
