I asked recently if anyone knew of where I could find PolyPharmacy v1.0

No-one did, but a few kind people asked my why I was looking in Simtel20
when sol.deakin.oz.au shadows the simtel20 archives.

Well, then answer is that I did not know about sol.deakin.oz.au.

A comment came from New Zealand than many Aussies don't know about
sol, so I thought it might be beneficial for all Australians who have
been twiddling their thumbs waiting for a transfer from USA if I
made everyone aware.

The anonymous FTP site sol.deakin.oz.au shadows wsmr-simtel20.army.mil,
garbo.uwasa.fi and chyde.uwasa.fi .

login anonymous your-ident
cd pub/PC/[simtel-20 | chyde | garbo]

New Zealanders might like to note that despite the traffic going to Hawaii
and back to the antipodes, using sol is still faster than simtel20 or *.fi

Happy FTPing...
