I'm looking for the Olson-Harris ctime package (pref. with sources). I checked out a couple of local archive sites, but couldn't find anything - perhaps because I don't know the filename(s)... If anybody can point me to an archive site that carries it, preferably in Europe, I'd appreciate it. Also, if you know what I should be looking for (where should I be looking? comp.sources.something?), please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Credit where credit is due; I don't know why I get billing whilst other
contributors - the list in the README file is:
Thanks to these Timezone Caballeros who've made major contributions to the
time conversion package: Keith Bostic; Bob Devine; Robert Elz; Guy Harris;
Mark Horton; John Mackin; and Bradley White. Thanks also to Michael Bloom,
Art Neilson, Stephen Prince, John Sovereign, and Frank Wales for testing work.
None of them are responsible for remaining errors.
- don't, but I generally just call it the "Arthur Olson" package.
In answer to your original question, the site from which I tend to grab
it is UUNET, but if you're not connected to it, that unfortunately
doesn't help you much....

UUNET has anon uucp access via a 900 number (1-900-GOT-SRCS). Attached is the file uunet!help. --asp@uunet.uu.net (Andrew Partan) [This file last updated on Tue Sep 25 17:09:38 EDT 1990] How to reach UUNET's 900 number via uucp ======================================== Here are some sample a L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for UUNET's 900 number: # # Simple line. uunet Any ACU 19200 1-900-468-7727 in:--in:--in: uucp # # Set up for a Telebit. uunet Any cua0 19200 cua0 "" ATX0S50=255S111=30DT19004687727\r CONNECT "" login: uucp Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your local telephone system and uucp version. Note that these modems first answer at 2400, then 1200, then with V.32, and last with PEP. This "900" number charges $.40US per minute to the caller. All modems on the 900 lines are Telebit T2500s.

(Note that this file is currently about 272 kbytes in size.) This is the output of executing the comand `ls -lR'. This file is updated nightly. Files ending in .Z are compressed.

Sorry. I didn't get to read the README file to find out what the package should be called until I got the package itself - catch22, eh? :-) >In answer to your original question, the site from which I tend to grab >it is UUNET, but if you're not connected to it, that unfortunately >doesn't help you much.... Yeah, well, our Internet connection isn't very solid at the moment. Also, uunet doesn't provide anon ftp access to sites not properly registered - apparently Delft Univ. isn't. [OK. OK. Give 'em some time to set it up right! That CISCO router was installed just a few days ago.] Anyways, enough of this ftp blues. I managed to get it from cs.uni-sb.de [134.96.7.254] (pub/atari/gcc/Libraries/time89.zoo). (Thanks, Edgar.) Thanks to all who replied. Cheers. - Rob -- Rob Kurver rob@dutncp8.tudelft.nl Computational Physics Group rob@pact.nl Faculty of Applied Physics, Delft University of Technology Day of inquiry. You will be subpoenaed.
