- [moderator's note: this should probably be posted to comp.windows.x.announce,
- but people ask me for this info all the time...]
-
- The recently released sources of X11r5 are available by anonymous
- ftp from hpb.mcc.ac.uk [130.88.200.7], user name ftp or anonymous,
- password your e-mail address.
-
- Note that our internet is connected to the European mainland
- vi the US, so that we are not closer to European sites than
- US sites are. Note that access is only vi internet ftp: we
- have not yet managed to acquire a working info-server for
- Janet access. Also note that, because of continuing problems
- with the configuration of our local nameservers, you may not always
- be able to use the machine name, but you should be able to use
- the address 130.88.200.7.
-
- The files are in the directory pub/X11r5. They include all files
- from the R5 directory at export.lcs.mit.edu, with the same
- directory structure. They also include compressed tar files
- into which the split files from MIT have been concatenated. This
- is intended to simplify ftping the files. The following files
- contain the entire release:
