I haven't seen that magazine, but it probably explains
why we (and we are your friends, honest!) can't make it
available on sonata/nova.  If you've looked, you'll
notice we still have it, but it's not readable.  I get asked
why nearly every day.  That's so:  

	we can make it available if that's ever allowed again

	people know not to resubmit it and get us in trouble.  Most
of the times I've removed a forbidden file, it's
dutifully reappeared in submissions.  

	>I< can pass it hand to hand as you described- which I
don't do over the network but have done for walk-ins here. 
If you're ever near Purdue, be sure to stop by. 

	people who get copies of the Archives by mail can have it. 
I don't consider that mass distribution and tell the
recipient not to distribute the file widely.  Yeah, it's
gray, but nobody's told me not to.  (And I'm sure I'll hear
about it now. :-( ) 

	we have a backup because we use it and like it a lot

	>I< think pulling it from mass distribution was ridiculous

These are my opinions, of course, and don't reflect the
policies of the Archives or of the University.  Most of the
recent policies of the Archives are built on my opinions,
of course, but they aren't necessarily synonymous.
