            Most of the files in the archive are  compressed  using  the
            UNIX 'compress' utility to save space.  If you are unable to
            decompress files from the archive and need copies of a  lim-
            ited     number     of     files,     send     e-mail     to
            archives@wugate.wustl.edu to make special arrangements.

            The archives are currently accessible through anonymous  FTP
            from wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4].

            If sufficient bandwidth is available and network administra-
            tors  don't object, members of MIDNET may mount the archives
            on their system using NFS.

            Current plans for expansion of the archives include:

                 o+    Making  recent  DECUS  (Digital  Equipment   Corp.
                      User's Society) tapes available.

                 o+    Adding more PC (Amiga, Apple II,  Atari,  IBM  PC,
                      Macintosh) archives from User's Groups.

                 o+    Mirroring additional valuable archives,  including
                      the WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL archives.
                 Ideas and requests for additional archives  are  always
                 welcome.   In particular, any MIDNET archive site which
                 would like to exchange archives via  NFS  is  asked  to
                 send mail to archives@wugate.wustl.edu
