Forwarded-For: T8321AB%DM0LRZ01.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu I am interested in software of GNU. But I have a tiny problem: Here from Europe I can not use the anonymous FTP to get any files. I am just able to send and receive mail (eg. by BITNET). Can anybody give me some help or hint ? Thank you in advance Stefan Mueller Technische Universitaet Muenchen Germany (West) There is no BITNET repository to the best of my knowledge. EUUG maight have some GNU software on tape.
