ref.tfs.com died a horrible death.  Last mail I got from Julian when he
was at ref stated that the machine (hardware) had died.  Fortunately,
there were backups tapes of it made.  I believe Chris got one, Bill got
one, Julian got one, and whenever I get some disk space I'll be able to
look at mine. 

It looks like ref is gone for good.  I doubt TFS wants to buy another
new machine just for the 386BSD community and install stuff on it out of
the goodness of their hearts, though they almost did that before.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

Nate
