djcl@uunet.uu.net> (08/06/90)
Well, the requests for place name lists have come in fast and furious ... all requests should have received some sort of response at this time, except for Robert Oliver at rabbit1 whose system cannot be reached from my mail path for some reason. Anyway, some have suggested that the uunet or funic systems might be a good place to send the entire set to; however, if someone will explain if any of these systems will accept the 1.3 or so meg of information for one thing, and who would be the contact at the site to send it to, that would be appreciated. An .lzh compression could be made available if stuff like uuencode/decode is designed for that purpose (i'm not that familiar with Unix utilities to transfer binaries, compress files, etc). Anyway, until the entire set can be stored safe and sound for ftp/mail access, requests will still be taken at djcl@contact.uucp for small requests (a few area codes at a time).
