I have received a number of requests for more information about the
X archives that I maintain and I have tried to answer them all.
Unfortunately my mailer is serverly brain damaged and can not
handle return addresses with %'s and @'s (some of them even uunet
rejected). Therefore I am posting the Announcement here, if you do
respond to the posting, PLEASE give me a uucp understandable
return address.
thanks

The West Coast Xarchive is now available. The purpose of this archive is
to provide access to all publicly available X Window System based soft-
ware through UUCP. The archive contains a complete comp.sources.x direct-
ory and a copy of what can be found on expo/contrib and expo/pub. The
expo directories will be updated roughly once a month.
The archive can currently be accessed at 1200 baud. I am hoping
to get a Telebit Trailblazer added in the near future.
I am setting up this archive to be pseudo annonymous. In other words, I
am giving everyone access, but I want you to ask for a connection using
the attached form. When you submit the form, I will authorize your host
to call the archive and I will send you back a copy of the L.sys entry
for the archive. By not making the archive totally annonymous, I will be
able to document the usage of the archive in order to help justify its
existence to the system administrator and upper management. I am hoping
to have enough information to help justify adding the Telebit Trailblazer.
Since some of the files in the archive may tend to be rather large, I am
also offering snailmail service for users. To make my life simple Please
include the following when request a tape by mail:
1. The tape (either reel, Sun cart, or uVax cart format)
2. a reusable or return mailer for the tape
3. POSTAGE
4. a COMPLETE return address
5. a list of the files that you want (please don't be
too pickey, it's easier to send the whole
archive than 75% of it)
6. if the tape is in reel format, the tape density
Since I do this in my copious spare time, please allow for about a one
to two week turn around for tape requests.
