If we all chipped in, we could buy the GNU sources from NeXT and post them at an ftp site. How much does it cost? $150? Someone could pay extra and get an optical disk for cheap. Any takers? 10 bucks a piece. -Mike

Arrrrrgh! This is the second or third time our news reader has chopped off my inputs to a follow up post. I can only speculate that the news reader was too embarassed by the quality of my post to send it out!!! Well, I'm going to try to fool it so here goes again...

This seems to work pretty well for other FSF software and I see no compelling reason for departure. However, if NeXT and FSF were agreeable to this approach (as the two most interested parties) I'd kick in $10. c.f.waltrip Internet: <waltrip@capsrv.jhuapl.edu> Opinions expressed are my own.
