Being located in New Zealand has some major disadvantages. We get the
USENET news by a circuitous route, but it does get here. However to
minimise costs the 'source' groups are not forwarded on to us. Neither
do we have a cheap mechanism for accessing the various Public Domain
archives that exist on various machines in the U.S.

I would be interested in hearing from anybody in the U.S. who would be
prepared to act as a go between, and transfer some of these software
archives to tape (9-trk) and airmail them to me. Or in the case of files
intended for IBM PC's to airmail them on floppy discs.

Have no fear we are quite happy to pay for any media and its postage.
