I know of four sites here in Ireland who are using ANU-news,
with a total user population of around 50,000 persons!
Unfortunately it is very nigh impossible to get a tape copy of
ANU-news. One of the sites copied the executables and the
documentation using PSI which is very expensive! That was for V5.7!!
Since I do not have the source code we cannot apply patches and I have
been very unsuccessful in locating a site willing to copy the tape and
post/mail it to me.
Surely, somewhere out there there must be a kind soul, who
would copy the tape??? Naturally, I would be willing to pay any costs
incurred. I am reading with envy all the new features which Geoff is
adding but will they ever reach this side of the Atlantic??? - or Pacific
(depending on your travelling direction!!) My congratulations to Geoff
on an excellant product - if only all applications were as carefully
written.
In hesitant expectation....
Cormac

I think I've said before - I'm more than willing to do the job, BUT, I think that Europe is well-connected enough that once the tape gets over there someone there needs to do distributions, i.e., I'll do it, but not for everyone in Europe. Regardless, send me a tape and work out return postage, and I'll do it. My address is: 1110 Bryan Ave Bellevue NE USA 68005-2808 (or alternately, mail me and we'll work out funds for me supplying the tape.) ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tim Russell, Computer Operator | Internet: russell@zeus.unl.edu Campus Computing | Bitnet: russell@unoma1 University of Nebraska at Omaha | UUCP: uunet!zeus.unl.edu!russell ---------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
