Following Mike Brady's request, I'm reposting info on my library. I'm
still waiting for contributions, by the way.

                                                                 Jocelyn


The library is available by anonymous FTP from the Imperial College
archive. The archive's FTP address is
    src.doc.ic.ac.uk

The equivalent numerical address is
    146.169.2.1

You access this archive in the normal way. Give your login name as
    anonymous
and use your Email address for the password. If, having logged in, you
find that your system can't cope with the messages from the FTP (one
symptom of this may be that when you do an 'ls', you get the message
'can't build data connection'; another may be system responses not
arriving until after the following command), then log out, and log in
again, with - as the first character of the password. This trick applies
to most FTP systems, by the way.

The entries live in the directory
        computing/programming/languages/prolog/pd-software
with a short-cut entry of:
        packages/prolog-pd-software
I.e., to access it, 'cd' to either of the above.

All entries are stored as <entry>.tar.Z. They are in compressed TAR
format, so once you have fetched them, uncompress, and then de-tar the
result. Users of Unix systems should have no problem with this, since
tar and uncompress are standard utilities. Those using other systems may
not be so lucky, though they are now available for VMS, at least.

The file README gives a brief summary of the contents of the directory.
