How about a UUCP server, something like the XSTUFF server for the X Window
System patchs, where you send a mail message with a subject line of

	Subject: SEND this

and it does!

Please!  If SIMTEL20 has gone to the trouble of archiving all this software,
could someone else make it available to the UUCP community.

	(Ideally, this "server" could anonymous FTP anywhere and
	return a [uuencoded? ARCed? compressed?] UUCP message).

Could UUNET do this?  Someone?  Please?
