Hi Y'all-

At the IAFA (Internet Anonymous FTP Archives) working group yesterday,
a group of archive administrators agreed to work together to help prepare 
IAFA descriptions for existing packages in the archives. We'll be setting up
a mailing list and wais archive, so that we only have to write a description
of gnuplot once. We'll be setting up the list and starting cranking out the
templates some time next week- all we need now are a few dedicated and rutheless
accomplices... 

If you're interested in helping, please send mail to Peter Deutch 
(peterd@bunyip.com) or myself (ses@sunsite.unc.edu).  

Simon
