Sorry if this one got posted and answered in the last few days, my newsfeed
went down over Memorial Day weekend :-(

I received and printed the posting <19@consult.UUCP> today which gives us a
list of the xnx*.* SLS fixes.  However, I did not see "xnx080" on this list
and am wondering if it lurks somewhere upon the 'sosco' machine and is
available via the anonymous UUCP that Bob posted.

Thanks ahead, and all that,
