[net.general] XLISP redistribution query

betz (04/07/83)

I recently submitted several files to net.sources containing the current
release of my programming language XLISP.  Since then I have received many
requests for copies of files that didn't reach particular sites.  Some have
suggested that I resubmit the entire collection of files.  This seems like
a rather drastic measure considering that the total size of the files is
about 130K bytes.  Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to a more
reliable way of distributing large source files?  (I really don't have the
facilities to distribute physical media)  I am willing to resubmit to
net.sources, but don't want to abuse the network by sending multiple copies
of large files that may not be of interest to the majority of the people
on the net.
