Tad,

At Xerox I don't have a direct connection to the Internet. The only way I
can access it is by mail.
To send mail to comp.sys.amiga i have to send to amiga-relay@louie.udel.edu
and then it only goes to comp.sys.amiga not any of the subgroups like
comp.sys.amiga.hardware or comp.sys.amiga.tech. I wouldn't have a way of
sending to comp.sources.wanted or comp.sources.unix.

The only way I have of getting Amiga software from here is to send a
message to BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET.

Then I get a uuencoded zoo file.
Now I have to take the file home, uudecode it and unzoo it. Either of which
may not work deppending on what the mail gateways along the way have done
to file file.

I have been borrowing the one and only Unix machine we have here (we all
use Xerox workstations) to uudecode the file to make sure its OK. Now I
have a zoo file but I can't be sure is anygood. And believe me I have
gotten several files that weren't anygood.

Having zoo on the Sun, so I can test the zoo files (and extract the docs to
print on the Xerox laser printers here at work) would make my live a hell
of lot easier.

Have a heart.
