UUNET Source Archives now available on Exabyte tapes
UUNET is making its collection of freely redistributable UNIX source
archives available on tape to any interested parties.
UUNET has over 600 megabytes of source archives on line for UUNET
subscribers to access. These archives are now available to anyone.
They are distributed on three 6250 bpi half inch tapes. All files are
compressed (except the compress program itself) to save space. The all
inclusive cost of these tapes is $225 with prepayment or $275
otherwise. The distribution is also available on seven 1/4" cartridge
tapes (QIC-24, 60 megabyte tapes, Sun compatible) for an additional
$175. (i.e. $400 prepaid, $450 otherwise) The distribution is now
available on Exabyte tapes for $150 prepaid ($200 otherwise).
All sources are the latest available versions at the time the tape is
written. Included on the tape are the MIT X Window System, Version 11
Release 4 plus fixes and lots of contributed software (200 megabytes);
the complete comp.sources.unix archive (80 megabytes); the TEX text
processing system (46 megabytes); all available GNU software (40
megabytes); the complete comp.sources.games archive (40 megabytes); the
