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 :)) ). Heh, the future isn't here yet, so why the hubba? ;-} The new compression program will be announced and placed on prep.ai.mit.edu, when we are ready to do the switch. Just a question/suggestion from someone who has yabba installed even if I hardly use it :) Hannes enjoy -len
