have access to UNIX COMPRESS.

archives with short explanations. Other useful infor-
mational files are also in the /info directory.

mation about NFS mounting of WUArchive.
Mailing list:
o+ A mailing list has been created for the purpose of
notifying interested persons of changes in status of
WUArchive (downtimes, major additions, etc.). Sites

one. To subscribe, send an E-mail message to
