this isn't a specific flame against andy, though god knows he deserves one.

for starters, there are a large number of archive sites in the country
for public access.  this system does (where are those reports when you
need them) about 15MB worth of public access traffic a week.  

every month for the last three months a posting has been made by myself
giving directions for picking up some of the more popular stuff from this
machine.  bill wisner has done likewise for killer i believe and mike
whats-his-name at oncoast is doing similiarly.

stopping sending out files in c.b.i.p would only slit your throat if
you weren't willing to pay the toll charges yourself.  when informed
that one must pay their own access charges if they want stuff from here,
most people just pick up the phone and dial, as it were.

mr. miller, and others in the c.b.i.p crowd, would rather have all of
the 101 systems between his and mine pay for his net access.  i suppose
i should now prove what a complete asshole i am by not posting the
phone number to this machine.

I'm finally getting killer's archives together again. The system is now 
running System V Release 3.1.1 from AT&T R&D, and among other really bozonic
changes, all logins must have a password now. There are a few real
improvements, though.

The point is, I'll soon be posting the latest version of 'how to get the
goods' to comp.sources.d. Watch for it, Andy.

Terrific, John!  Would you give me the info on a couple in NJ?  Thanks.

no.  i will give you pointers to one here in texas and pointers to how
to find one in new jersey.  unfortunately i don't have an entire list
of sites under my finger tips.

killer is a 24 hour a day public access unix site.  the phone numbers
are 8210390, 8274670, 8271994 and 8247881, all in the 214 area code.
callup and login as new or something like that, instructions are displayed
when the machine answers the phone.

next is the "nixpub" listing produced by wayne@warble here in dallas.
it is posted on a regular basis to pubnet.nixpub or some other such
group.  it lists a variety of public access unix systems.

another site is oncoast or sir-alan or something like that.  it is
listed in the maps and makes a reference to being a source archive.
in general, archive sites seem to mention that fact.  if you need maps,
i archive them here for my own use.  this machine is also listed as
having some archived sources.

good luck and happy hunting ...
- john.
