Dear Mr. Stallman:

The following is from the latest version of file FTP.

How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP.  Last updated 4Sep90

* No Warranties

................

* Updates

If you find this file in the Emacs distribution, there is a chance
it is out of date.  If you plan to FTP files from prep.ai.mit.edu,
you might as well start by FTPing the current version of this file,
which is `/u2/emacs/etc/FTP'.

* FTPing GNU Software

** GNU Emacs and How To FTP It

If you are on the Internet (see also "** Alternative Internet FTP
Sources" below), you can at present copy the latest distribution
version of GNU Emacs from the file /u2/emacs/edist.tar on host
prep.ai.mit.edu (or the file /u2/emacs/edist.tar.Z which has been run
through compress after tar).  These files are about 7 and 3 megabytes
long, respectively.  After you unpack the distribution, be sure to
look at the files README and INSTALL.
========================================================================

However when I tried to ftp /u2/emacs/edist.tar, I found that there was no
such a file on host prep.ai.mit.edu.  What was wrong?
