In article 6112 in comp.sys.mac.misc, John Mazzocchi
(rxcjm@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au) asks: "What is up with ftp.apple.com?"
And in article 6107 in comp.sys.mac.misc, Lawrence D'Oliveiro
(ldo@waikato.ac.nz) mentions: "I hate to say this, but it almost
looks like ftp.apple.com has been partially set up and then abandoned."
At least from all indications to date, it appears that Apple still
intends to open this new ftp site. However, the last status reports on
the net (below) indicate that legal matters may still have to be cleared
up before it opens for business.
An update regarding this site's status would be welcome ...

On another note, as soon as we get through the legal hassles that
the transfer of HyperCard to Claris and European System Software
are causing, we will open the new FTP site...until then, hang tight.

a little bird has told me that there will shortly be a new site
FTP.APPLE.COM online, which will have expanded archives including new
goodies previously not available for FTP ...
it's basically a problem of getting the lawyers to agree....
