I agree with Lauren. I sometimes think that maybe mod.sources should be for the large postings (say, oh, bigger than 1 piece)... is there anyone there with a guideline for it? also, is there anyone out there with some disk space willing to catalogue {net,mod}.sources for people to get later? Someone on ARPA with an anonymous FTP or something? Maybe this exists, but it'd be nice to be able to get to the public domain stuff that's out there without saving it the first time it goes by. A lot of times I wind up saving copies of stuff I don't need just because I say "hey, if in a few months I *do* need this, it's gonna be tough finding it..." ------------ Jordan Hayes jordan@ucb-vax.BERKELEY.EDU UC Berkeley ucbvax!jordan +1 (415) 835-8767 37' 52.29" N 122' 15.41" W
