I caught a message header which stated that BART was no longer available. I wasn't able to find the original notice in the message base, so I hope this is simply rumour. If it is true though, I was wondering if there was some other archive i could access through the mail rather than through FTP (my access to this utility is limited to a large extent)?

An announcement about this appeared here recently. The ideas is this: You send mail to the server at Princeton. It does the ftp access for you. It then encodes the date in one of two formats, either UUENCODE or NETDATA, and mails it to you.
