Is there one X archive site that has FTP access that can get all of the stuff and then allow the rest of us archive sites to uucp from them. 2. Can I talk someone at expo.lcs.mit.edu into making one tape a week of the contrib directory and mailing it to me and I will make the stuff more generally available either by tape or uucp. How 'bout it guys, one tape a week can't be too bad. It will get the rest of us off your backs trying to find out how to get contrib stuff. I'll even send you the tape. -- Lee Daniels (201) 848-8000 HHB Systems 1000 Wyckoff Avenue, uucp path: princeton!hhb!lee@uunet.uu.net Mahwah, New Jersey 07430
