Yes, we live... We've kinda been- well, I'll try to be kind- we've been hosed. Nobody's fault, really. People gobbled up the disk space on our wonderfully huge partition very quickly. It was being shared between Fish stuff and Mac stuff and (ick) IBM stuff. So- we ran out of space. I don't see any coming up any time soon. Lionel is probably going to eliminate some of the earlier ones, and then we'll put the latest ones up there. I'm sorry for all the hassle. I didn't want or expect this much uncertainty. I just wanted to sit here in my little office and feed disks to my Amiga at 9600 baud, and upload them for the world to enjoy. I have money to buy disks with, I have equipment to upload with, but I don't really have the time to do lots of error correcting. Tell you what- I'll put 'em on a.cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.252.1) within 24 hours of this note. They'll be in ~ftp/tmp/fishes. Anonymous ftp works over there. But be forewarned- they can possibly removed at any time. For the future, I don't know. I'll have to talk to Lionel about this. We might have to turn ux1 into a Fish FIFO... -Mike Schwager |"We must never permit the voice of INTERNET:schwager@cs.uiuc.edu | humanity within us to be silenced.
