FTP to uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.54) and go to the amiga/fish directory. About 90% of the Fish disks through 110 are there, each disk in its own directory. Disk is in directory ff. Disks less than 100 have a leading 0, i.e. disk 98 is stored in the directory ff098. Each program on each disk is a Zoo archive. I'm not sure, but I think the latest fish disk list is there. If not, it can be found on swan.ulowell.edu in amiga/doc/fish.list. It is over 200K long and ran to 88 pages when I printed it. To the people at Illinois-Urbana/Champaign who maintain the Fish archive: THANKS! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. --M Michael Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "Memories are uncertain friends, when recalled by messages" -- OMD, "Messages"
