And they have 1-800 numbers for subscribers, too. I've been there. They don't
have everything. They don't have TCL. They don't have MX or TX. They only
have STDWIN because Guido put it in the amiga-sources area while I was the
moderator of amiga-sources.

That's the problem. Partly because of FTP, nobody has everything. And because
of FTP, they shouldn't have to. So you get back to

	1) find a site with the package that allows anon-uucp.
