Since you were able to FTP them to the utexas site, why not FTP
them to SIMTEL as well?  Then people could FTP them during normal hours,
from one of several sites that mirror SIMTEL worldwide, and at the same
time they would be available by uuencoded email to people without FTP
access via several mail servers.

I think instructions on how to get things to SIMTEL are in the FAQ, if
that's not enough info contact me.  Basically you contact the SIMTEL
archive maintainer, who gives you instructions and an account and
password for FTP.  You upload it to an incoming directory, he processes
it and within a few days it will be publically available.  

If you can't or don't want to do it, I will.  I haven't done much lately
because SIMTEL prefers ZIP compression and I haven't had the time to
take the ARJ files from utexas, uncompress, recompress and FTP again.
