[net.emacs] GNU emacs available via uucp from osu-eddie

karl@osu-eddie.UUCP (Karl Kleinpaste) (04/02/85)

We received our tape of GNU emacs today.  We are making it available to
whomever wishes to call up and get it via uucp, as per Chuck Wegrzyn's
request.  The file is in compressed tar format, but it is still 1.22Mbytes
long, so be prepared to be occupied on the phone for a couple of hours.

The file is compressed using the Lempel-Ziv compression program referenced
by Chuck in previous postings.  If you don't have this program, you can get
it as well.  You can uucp the following files:

	~/gnumacs.tar.Z
	~/compress/README
	~/compress/compress.c
	~/compress/compress.l

Connection information:  Here is a sample L.sys line which should be able to
get into osu-eddie to get GNU emacs:

osu-eddie <time> ACU 1200 1-614-422-7709 in: gnumacs word: gnumacs

This uucp login will restrict calling between 6pm and 6am; we only have
one dialin modem, and it tends to be awfully busy during normal working
hours, so we're limiting this to allow other work to go on as usual.  Of
course, it'll also keep your phone bill lower.  We request that other sites
having a more typical uucp login for us please avoid copying gnumacs during
the work day.

If you have any problems, give us a call.

(I'd like to express much appreciation to Chuck Wegrzyn for all the help
he's provided in getting gnumacs to me.  Thanx, Chuck!)
