They're shutting down the old TOP-20 system at CU20B.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU in a few weeks and the whole Kermit distribution has been moved to CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, a Unix host. Hopefully this will speed things up for FTP jobs. Don't forget, most files in the Kermit distribution are ASCII, not binary. -- --Keith Petersen Maintainer of the CP/M and MSDOS archives at SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [26.0.0.74] Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz
