Is there an official "Home of C News" where one can be assured of
obtaining all partches and and "up-to-date" version of the software?
Also, what patchdate is C News up to?
Thanks,
Emmett

The current cnews.Z can currently always be retrieved by anonymous ftp from cs.toronto.edu in file pub/cnews.Z and the complete set of patches can also be found on cs.toronto.edu in the directory pub/cnews.patches. For people with broken name servers: cs.toronto.edu is 128.100.1.65 FTP during our peak hours (13h00-17h00 Eastern) is not encouraged. The latest patch is still the 7-Sep-1990 one. -- Imagine life with OS/360 the standard | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology operating system. Now think about X. | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
