Being on the ARPANet, we got it via FTP. We also make it available
via UUCP (1200/2400bps) to anyone who cares to make long distance
phone calls to Columbus, OH, USA; but I imagine that doing so from
Sweden would be prohibitive in terms of cost.
Then again, one fellow from the Netherlands called to pick up GNU
Emacs 18.49 a couple of months ago...10 hours at 1200bps on a
transatlantic phone call. It's his money, I suppose...
BTW, it's distributed as a 200Kb compressed tar file. Posting it to
comp.sources.unix in its non-compressed form might be tough, too.rsalz@bbn.com (Rich Salz) (03/21/88)

Posting it to >comp.sources.unix in its non-compressed form might be tough, too. NNTP will be published in comp.sources.unix. I can't give you the exact date right now, as I don't conveniently have the sizes of the couple of things that will be going out before it. /r$, moderator thereof -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
