davis@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (Bob Davis) (04/26/89)

Hi, Does anyone know if the more recent Fred Fish disks (188 - 200) are
available through anonymous FTP?  Thanks.  Bob Davis.

I need some things from Fred Fish disks 320+.
funet.fi has up to 320 or 319.
Are there any other ftp sites that have fish disks, hopefully the most recent
ones too?

If you know of any, please let me know.  I'll probably need the node number
as well as the system name.

In particular, I'm looking for the XPR Kermit library with source.

Any help is appreciated

The original source for the online Fish Disks is the Amiga Archive at UIUC:

               128.174.5.59	ux1.cso.uiuc.edu uiucux1 ux1

Disks 1-350 are online.  351-360 are awaiting added hard drive capacity (do not
ask me when; I do not know).

In general, this is where the other Fish Disk FTP sites get their collections.
I've never known any other site to have a release of the disks online before
us.  If they did, I wish I had known about it because it would save me the 
job of uploading the disks myself!

Hi, does anyone know where I can get the Fred Fish collection?
I have gone through a whole bunch of ftp sites without any luck.

Thanks,

Everyone has been asking (seems like whining) where they can get the latest
Fish disks for the Amiga.  As soon as Mr. Fish posts another 10 disks that
are available, the next day c.s.a has a few posts wondering what FTP site
has the disks, or why certain ones don't have anything beyond 3xx yet.

Ever heard of supporting the author?  It's the shareware principle.

Now, Mr. Fish's policy is not to charge an excessive amount for the
duplication of his disks.  However, he does make a small amount for all the
time and effort that he puts into compiling, testing, and distributing the
disks (one would assume).  In fact he should be charging $10 for each
disk if he wanted to get back the money for the time/effort/computer hardware
he puts into the disks.

So if you are so in need of these new disks, send him a little money, and
you'll have the disks, long before any FTP net site has em.

FTP is NOT free, someone pays for it somehwhere (if you do not directly),
so free up the net, and order the disks youself, or contribute to your
local user's group fund and get copies there (or contribute as well)
