Sorry to pound this into the ground, but I would like to point out something
about the list servers.  Sure, you can send them a message and they will
send you back files.  That is fine for bitnet people.  But many of the files
on the list servers are too big to be mailed to me in one piece (100K is
the biggest that our gateway (thanks Indiana University) but some places
aren't so lucky) can handle.  It would really be nice if someone set up
a list server that would send out files in 32K chunks.

-Michael
