- This is basically the case. The binaries are quite large, and no one had
- volunteered the disk space on an FTP archive. There's been talk of
- doing SVR3 shared libraries, but no one has come up with them yet. From
- what I understand, it's a lot of work. SGCS and MetroLink do have them
- in their commercial offerings. If someone wants to step up and volunteer
- (either disk space or to work on SVR3 shared libs) send email to
- x386@physics.su.oz.au
