[comp.sys.next] Ftp site for 2.0 extended software

   Sorry to have taken so long to answer, but here's the results...

   There seems to be no ftp site available for the 2.0 extended release.
I have also heard second hand that such a thing is not going to be made
available (at least by NeXT, and from other sites may not be in the
licensing agreement).

   There were several offers by kind locals to get us the rest of the
release, including a response from the Portland Area representative, with
a pretty good response time, I might add (one of these solved the problem
nicely).

   The two things to conclude is:

     1) There were a large number of e-mail responses asking for me to post
	any site that I may find out about.  This is quite signaficant, and
	some way to cleanly deal with all of these people wanting the rest
	of the 2.0 software seems like it would be a good idea.

     2) Try contacting others who may own NeXTs in your area, as the ones
	around here, at least, were extremely helpful.  If nothing else,
	contact a local NeXT rep or two, and they should be able to find
	a way to work it out.  Other sources to check would be the closest
	NeXT user's groups, listed in several of the NeXT publications,
	formost of which is the "NeXT on Campus".

   Those in NeXT user's groups, of course, probably will have no trouble ;-).

   Hope this helps, sorry that I don't have a simple answer.

   Erich
