Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup but anyways:

In the GNUs Bulletin from June 91 I read from yabba replacing compress for GNU
software in the future. What I don't understand is, why is yabba not available
on prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory pub/gnu ? It's not that I didn't find yabba
elsewhere like on sun.soe.clarkson.edu but I think if the FSF announces that
they will switch to another compression program it would be a good idea to put
this program on the machine where GNU software is available first so that 
people can try this new compression (sorry for this monster of words but I'm 
german :)) ).

Just a question/suggestion from someone who has yabba installed even if I 
hardly use it :)

	Hannes
