[can.general] Status of the Canadian X Software Repository

The Canadian X Software Repository is temporarily shutdown
until such time as I can resurrect it on another site. The most
recent copy of the repository has been cloned onto other computer
sites as a matter of precaution, but the official repository will
not be back on-line until late October (optimistic).

This hiatus is primarily due to my leaving Geac and not having
enough disk/horsepower on my home machine (murder) to cope with
the server (The current X software exceeds 100Mb of data!).

I will post a followup message to this group when the
repository is, once again, active.

If you are in Dire Straits (old New Dundee ;-)) drop me a line
indicating what software you absolutely need, and I will see
what I can do.

Thanks to all who are helping to make the repository work.

p.s. Should the repository be expanded to include more of the
project Athena sources - the Hesiod name-server for example?
