[comp.emacs] uEmacs on BITNET

IUS@DACTH51.BITNET.UUCP (11/12/87)

Daniel,

I have in the past advertized to info-ibmpc I would send 3.8i out to BITNET
users but have held that until I got 3.9 which I now have (almost complete).

Bruno Durasse of the BNANDP11.BITNET host which distributes the unix-emacs
List to BITNET users has long agreed to have me store UUencoded ARCs for
Emacs on this host which then can be grabbed by mail or interactive command
(the latter only from within BITNET). I will of course also store the boot
strap stuff and make a ready to go distribution kit for the IBM-PC which
will use PKArc's fine selfextract utility.

If I was to receive periodic updates from someone on ARPA (it has been
awfully hard to get it so far) I would store always the latest version on
BNANDP11.BITNET. As ARPA and BITNET are free it should be possible to mail
the UUencoded ARC files ever so often from Purdue to this host, shouldn't
it ?

I do not have uSpell nor forsee to get it. And I guess the long awaited
uScribe is still beeing worked on ?

Monday the 23rd of November I will take the medical boards and afterwards I
will have enough time for at least the coming 14 months to support uEmacs
on the BITNET side. During that time I will also be willing to look for
someone on BITNET to take it over after I leave Aachen.
