Many folks have asked me what the address for mod.sources is after noticing my mention of it in a previous posting. Mod.sources is a Usenet news group moderated by Richard Salz (rs@mirror.uucp). There isn't an address for it per se, things get sent to Rich and he releases code to the net. He keeps a directory, and will mail you a specific program (if it isn't too big). Seismo archives mod.sources. You can access this archive via anonymous FTP. For the truly uninitiated, anonymous FTP is a method of accessing files using FTP (File Transfer Program/Protocol). When you use FTP to connect to another system, you are asked for a name and password. If you use the name "anonymous", you can use any password you want and get access. The convention is to use your site-name, or your username as the password. I leave it up to you to figure out how to access a specific site from your machine, and how to do the transfer. ---------------- Marty Sasaki uucp: harvard!sasaki Strategic Information arpa: sasaki@harvard.harvard.edu 80 Blanchard Road bitnet: sasaki@harvunxh Burlington, MA 01803 phone: 617-273-5500
