It seems that some have misunderstood my intentions from my original posting.
I do not advocate removing the source, simply including pre-compiled versions
of a few flavors (sun3,sun4,MicroVax,DecStation,hp,sgi,etc.) under the most
resent release of their OS's.  As far as trojan horses are concerned, I doubt
that ANYONE searched through the entire source tree before simply trying a
'make World' on their copy of R4.  And I would be much more likely to trust
MIT for a clean release than any other site offering such a service.  I have
my source in tack, and I do go to it quite often.  But that still doesn't
explain why one must have it to use X (Thats a lot of code!).  

I would think that MIT would be more than happy to lower net traffic.  And
it would be nice if it didn't take a full day to get the software running.

For those of you that are interested, the University of Illinois has the
pre compiled code available for the Sun3 (3.5 and 4.0.3), and the Sun4(4.0.3c)
on ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.59).  I, they, and everyone else make no
claim to its condition with respect to viri.  But I have been using it for
a month now.  This is a service intended for the use of on campus sites, but
I doubt that they would mind if others used it.

More opinions, Flame me directly, support me publicly,
