In fact, I have yet to get a reponse from my "send index" request to DSI.COM (dsinc!elm) using the procedure outlined in the ELM monthly posting. I also checked uunet source archives and none of the patches have been posted there yet. Since I don't seem to be the only one who is having difficulty getting the patches for Elm 2.3, could someone PLEASE post patches 1 thru 11?

You might want to try our mail-server. People in Europe will most probably prefer FTPing with our archive-site instead of crossing the Atlantic. Details on FTP and the Mail-Server below... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **> This is my ``standard-answer'' to requests for free software that I **> think our archive-service can fulfil.

We, Computer Science department, Utrecht University, are running an anonymous FTP server on one of our systems. I should say that we're NOT archiving all of "comp.sources.*". Instead, we're putting a lot of effort in trying to keep the archive up-to-date. Here are the details on anonymous FTP: ====================================== Site: archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5] Login: "anonymous" or "ftp" Password: your email address (you@your_domain) Usage: see the ftp(1) manual on your system Hot topics: TeX stuff, Atari-ST software, Elm 2.3, NN 6.4, UNIX software, sundry documentation, ... Important: to get a description of what exactly is in the archive get the file "pub/ls-lR.Z". Also, in each sub-directory there is a file named "INDEX" that describes the software in that directory (what version, what else you need, who wrote it, etc.). Although anonymous FTP is our main goal, we're also running a mail server, because we *know* how you feel when there's plenty of beautiful software around that you can't reach. We've been in that situation for a long long time... All we ask from you is that you at least *try* to keep very big requests out of the prime-time hours (nights and weekends are fine). Okay, now for how to access our mail server: ============================================ 1) The mail server can be reached at the address mail-server@cs.ruu.nl or the old-fashioned path alternative ...!uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf!mail-server 2) The mail server understands a couple of commands, all commands must be in the message body. The first thing you might want to do is ask it for help: send HELP 3) A complete "ls-lR" listing of the archive is kept in the top-level directory, it will be updated every night. To get it, say: send ls-lR.Z Note that compressed files will be sent UUEncoded by default; we use the UUE that was posted to the net some time ago. In every subdirectory you'll find a "INDEX" file, describing the contents of that directory. So, e.g. to find out what's in the ELM-2.3 directory, say: send ELM-2.3/INDEX 4) Last, assume you want to get the UUE/UUD package mentioned above: send UNIX/uudecode.shar 5) If your mailer appends your fancy signature file, you might want to mark the end of the mail-server commands-list by putting an end command above the signature file. This will prevent "unknown command" messages from the mail-server program. That's all for now. If you encounter problems using the FTP service and/or the mail-server, feel free to drop me a line (by e-mail, please). thanks for your time, --[ Edwin ]-- -- Edwin Kremer (SysAdm), Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University Padualaan 14, P.O.

Please *do not* do this! Instead, why don't sites that need the elm patches talk to their neighbours - they should be able to get the stuff they need from nearby sites by mail or anonymous uucp without burdening the whole net with this stuff, which has been posted once already. Or you could wait for 2.4. Peter
