That's my little hand up waving in the air! As a non-U.S. site, it seems
that I can not get access to ARPA unless I am performing some valid
military function. So... I think the idea of regional storage for
these programs is a great idea. I volunteer to become the main
Canadian storage node for this type of stuff. 

I am very tired (read jealous) of those U.S. sites that say "just ftp
it" as if anyone could do it. If I could ftp it, damnit I would!

Mail me the pieces, I'll re-assemble, test and make available to
anyone who wants to drop a quarter or make a tape.
