True up to a pint. But, for example, how would I get hold of a copy of the
larger GNU distributions this way? GNU EMACS would come out at about a hundred
parts if mailed from the Princeton server. I don't have 9 inch magtape, or a
Sun cartridge drive, so I can't go to GNU (FSF) direct.
I don't condone ACW either. But they may be the only way for some people.
