The new programs are all available via FTP (see below) but I will not
be mailing timings (far too big) or ftps (you probably already have this)
or v2 (look in /domain_examples/streams/v2).
****SPECIAL NOTE****
DISTRIBUTION
The main distribution is through anonymous FTP login. I will also mail to
people without ARPA access. An anonymous FTP login is available on
zeus.cs.ucla.edu (128.97.2.2). The files are in the directory /pub. Only
the most recently released software is in /pub. I will place older stuff
there for you on request. We can also load a tape or diskette for you if
you have no net access.
I automatically try to mail to each of the following people:
amdcad!fredel@riacs.arpa
cadovax!scgvaxd!ihnp4!ihwpt!crocker
apollo!nazgul@eddie.mit.edu
sdcrdcf!psivax!scgvaxd!hacvlsi!iketani
dual!bigtuna!brianm@decwrl-gw.arpa
I am no longer distributing to CSNET sites because of the flakiness of
that connection. I make one attempt to send to each Poor Relation. If
it doesn't make it, too bad. If mail to you is consistently flaky, I
stop mailing to you.
If your site isn't on this list, and you'd like to receive some of the
archived programs and be added to the list for future mailings, send mail
to srt@locus.ucla.edu or ...!ucla-cs!srt, indicating what you'd like to
receive.
CONTRIBUTIONS
If you'd like to contribute a program, all you have to do is mail it in
any form to me. If you're on ARPAnet, I can FTP it from you if that is
more convenient. I'm actively seeking new contributions, and hope that
you'll have something interesting.
If you'd like to contribute money, we can make special arrangements. For
instance, I'd be willing to drive over to your house if it isn't too far.
I also cut lawns.
