Message-ID: <ByB10A.s7@ibmpcug.co.uk> Date: 26 Nov 92 03:43:21 GMT Organization: The IBM PC User Group, UK. Lines: 16 We've got lots of good stuff on adrian's 386bsd archive on rachel.ibmpcug.co.uk, but it's galling to lose all the space from having an unpacked set of directories (which I see as pretty useful for a *lot* of folks) and a tarred and compressed set (which is a hellava lot more convenient if you want the whole suite and not just some fixed file...) Does anyone know where to get one of those clever ftpds that let you get dirname.tar.Z and it does the tarring and compressing on the fly as it sends the data? It would be *really* useful here and let us expand the archive even more... Thanks Graham --
