[net.wanted.sources] How can we obtain GNUEmacs source?

rbp@investor.UUCP (Bob Peirce) (07/10/85)

We are a new site and have been following the GNUEmacs
discussion for several weeks.  The one thing we have
not seen is how source distribution is handled.  Any
help would be appreciated.

We don't know the size of the source, but understand
it is several Mb.  This makes long distance uucp
expensive.  We can handle 8in. SSSD floppy.  (We also
have cpmutl7).  We have 1/4in. cartridge tape on our
Altos 68000 but may not be able to read your tar.  We
would be happy to experiment.  There is also a possi-
bility of reading standard computer tape on a local
Vax, but we are not certain of this.

Please let us know what our options are.

Thank you,
Bob Peirce
