I cannot help immediatly, however there is a group of FidoNet sysops and
myself that are working on a project that will get those files from the Fido
side of the house and move them over to the Internet side.  We are hoping to
go through a few test runs in the next few months.

Please:  I have the Folowup-To: set to myself.  Please do not send me a lot
of mail about this, things are still in the planning stages.  If you (or
anyone else) think that they can be of service, please let me know.
