The good thing about commercial packages is that they are always trivial pieces of software which can be implemented five times better in an afternoon. The archie protocol is trivial and must (surely) be public domain. Thus is writing a garchie not a viable option ? If some of us here were to put our heads together and write one, removing the technical problem, where would that leave us with respect to the politics ? -- michael@unixsoft.demon.co.uk ``So it seems that women cause more fights than pool tables'' Anon.
