Is there anybody out there with the time and disk space to set up
UUCP-accessible comp.{sources/binaries}.amiga archives?
I was planning to do it here on "killer", but come May my access here
goes away (due to the demise of PC Pursuit). Not to mention that I
really have too many things on my "ToDo" list to add another one. A
shame, because Charlie had the disk space, and was willing to let
someone do it on this system. Still, it was a good idea. I often
don't fetch something off the source/binaries groups, saying "I don't
need a program like that", only to come across a need some time later.
Without FTP ability, the only way to fetch it is to a) wait for it to
appear on a Fish disk, or b) via UUCP. According to EMAIL that Bob
Page sent me, though, there ARE no UUCP archive sites.

I should have one up in about 2-3 months running on an ancient Onyx box. (Really, no kidding). Pretty much waiting for finances to settle enough to buy a scsi tape drive and disks so I can boot and gen the machine. Disk space is going to be limited though; the bugger supports 4 40mb drives total. Anyone who wants to donate something a little beefier feel free. (Hey, Sun, how about a 3/60? Hmm? 1 327Mb shoebox would do nicely) >-- >| // Eric Lee Green P.O.
