  I'm seriously wondering what chip on your shoulder prompted you to ask this
in such a hostile manner.

  I'm terribly sorry that you don't have access to the same computing
resources that I do, but that's life.  In an ideal world, everyone would have
access to the same resources, but our world is not ideal, and whining about
that (and, given the way it was worded, I cannot help but perceive your
question as whining) is not going to change it.

  In any case, both "archie" and anonymous ftp to wuarchive.wustl.edu are
accessible to anyone who has E-mail access to them.  The former, by sending
mail to archie at quiche.cs.mcgill.ca (send a message with body "help" for more
information), and the latter, by using the bitftp server
(bitftp at pucc.princeton.edu -- send a message with body "help" for more
information).  Furthermore, archives at hrc.UUCP also archives several
newsgroups, including alt.sources; for more information about it, send mail to
hrc!archives with contents

	send path uunet!<your host name>!<your username>
	send help

All of these methods are accessible even to people "who are not attending
taxpayer supported schools."  So it seems to me that you don't need me to act
as an "intermediary," and I don't intend to do so.
