About a year ago, when CMU shut the whole thing down, they finally (for a short time) stuck andrew-8.0.Z up for ftp. I have a copy here. It was a titanic job getting 6.3 working, and probably it would be even worse getting 8.0 going. I am bound and determined to get some kernel work done, so I just will not go porting that monstrosity, which I estimate to be in even worse shape than thot. I have the distfile, and if you would like, I'll spend some evening moving it to freefall (to my dir for ftp access). If I don't get some real interest from someone I know is capable of doing some hard porting work (and this is mostly C++) then I won't be moving it, freefall is short enough on disk space as it is, and this behemoth is more than 20 megs compressed. So there! Other than that, I think killing auis was a fine idea, and I wish some other aged and unused ports could go too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C programming, Electronics, 213 Lakeside Dr. Apt.
