- (sorry if you've seen this before. i posted it in non-80 column mode)
-
- howdy all,
-
- I would like to announce a reincarnation of banjo. As a result of some
- marathon FTP sessions, all of banjo has been reproduced on reggae.oit.unc.edu
- in ftp/pub/pc-stuff/Linux. I will be actively maintaining this so, uploads
- are most encouraged.
-
- This ftp site is trying to be compliant with the IAFA guidelines on archives,
- which are (imho) Good Things. Part of that is to fill in the form below (copies
- of which are available on archives.cc.mcgill.ca in /iafa). If you can take
- the time to fill this thing out and upload it as package.iafa (where package
- is the tar.Z file you are uploading) into incoming, It will help us make our
- archives available through WAIS and the other cool tools we are working on
- here.
-
- (All of this is of course optional, I will accept all working Linux uploads!
- You are just encouraged to do this and help us make anonymous ftp easier)
-
- If you have any questions, drop me a line at jem@reggae.oit.unc.edu.
