   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 :)) ).

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 :)
