While there are ways to squeeze more files into the standard NeXT-specific FTP sites, I also like the idea of just buying some more room. The other methods would also be very welcome, but I don't believe it's fair to expect everyone (the archive maintainers in particular) to spend increasing amounts of time and energy trying to stuff more things into the same amount of space. I'd be willing to send some money to both the purdue gang and the cs.orst.edu gang to get some more real live disk space. If enough people sent something like $10-$20 (to each archive), they should be able to get some extra disk space to alleviate the crunch. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
