	last night, I copied the binaries to SIMTEL20 also,
	so as soon as the files are moved to the public areas
	there, you'll have a choice between TANK, NCAR, RASCAL, SIMTEL20

	given that the binary files are ~500k each and that there are 10
	of those, I'd recommend that you test the transfer speed at which
	you can retrieve files from these sites (by retrieving a small
	file) and then go for the one which is fastest (for you).

	I'd also like to encourage folks to make files available to your
	local user community and/or the net at large to help reduce the
	overall load on the volunteer archive sites (you know how it
	goes:  if someone with clout gets upset, there go the FTPable
	archive sites .... :-)

	maybe the folks at SUMEX could retrieve a copy and add to the
	pool of available sites?!  it's really a shame when connections
	time out after 450k of a 500k file are already transfered.
	if that happens, get the 64k fragmented and hexed pieces from
	either NCAR or TANK, please...
