(its ftp.u.washington.edu, directory public/virtual-worlds)

And over in alt.uu.virtual-worlds.misc, this type of query is exactly
what I'm trying to address with an introduction to v-w which Charlie
Lindahl and I have gotten together to do (first parts posted last
week).

We are both beginners and are putting down on paper (alright in ascii
:-) ) what we're learning. (I'm trawling through archives and he's
putting together a system).

Hey moderators - why don't you add a one liner saying where the
archives are each time you add a "[MODERATOR'S NOTE:" ?

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
