I'd do it, but I don't have internet/ftp access.  All I have is uucp access
to uunet and I know that my company is not going to pay $.50 a minute to
transfer files to/from uunet for this purpose.  Also, our internet mail
forwarding agent costs are paid for via Sun and they aren't going to want
to pay for all of the connect time to receive e-mailed sources.

Damn, I wish we had an internet connection.  :-(
