- To repeat:
-
- Archive access is NOT automated, but to retrieve one or two files, I am willing
- to send the file out via uucp mail. If multiple modules are requested, then
- I usually request a 9 track tape along with a self-addressed stamped mailer,
- (along with a note explaining which sources are being requested) and I will
- put the sources onto the tape in 1600bpi "tar" format. Access is also
- available via a uucp login if you are willing to dial in (contact me via
- uucp mail for more details).
-
- Note that I sometimes get backlogged, but if you send mail to me, and don't
- get a reply in a reasonable time (two weeks?) then you can assume that either
- I never recieved your note, or your reply got eaten. (uucp mail is notoriously
- unreliable!) Also, if you expect a reply via uucp mail, PLEASE include a
- return address starting at some well known site - especially if you are on
- some local network that uses unusual addressing conventions. More than once
- I have not been able to reply (and the apparent source sitename was not
- in the uucp map!)
