thanks, Olli, for making this wonderful package available;
(I call it wonderful without having tried - simply because the
concept of making such a complete package available is ourstanding)
> available via anonymous ftp from kampi.hut.fi
there is a problem with making such an announcement: it will
result in many repeated trans-Atlantic transfers of the files.
a better idea would have been to announce that you have it and
offer to make it available to someone "over here" for redistri-
bution (you are welcome to contact me or any of the other
archive maintainers directly by email anytime, of course).
as it stands and to avoid further duplication of transfers,
I am in the process of grabbing the files from KAMPI (just about
done) and will have them available for FTP on RASCAL and will
put them over to SIMTEL20 and SUMEX and mail them to Roger Long
(moderator comp.sources/binaries.mac) if they don't have them
already.
I'd recommend that you then rename/hide the files for a few days
to let people catch up to this article and make it impossible for
people to start a transfer immediately after reading yours.
Cheers, ---Werner
PS: US-campers, check out RASCAL.ICS.UTEXAS.EDU, directory "mac/NEW-in-8904"
for the files from Finland.
