I still use MicroEMACS occasionally. I noticed this in the Makefile
for the FreeBSD port (editors/uemacs):

DEPRECATED= No more public distfiles
EXPIRATION_DATE= 2012-10-20

Evidently the distfile download links are broken:

ftp://www.aquest.com/pub/uemacs400/disk2/ue400dev.zip is extremely
slow, then stalls completely, at least for me.

http://www.aquest.com/downloads/UE400DEV.ZIP does not match the
original size/checksum.

The author, Daniel M. Lawrence, passed away in 2010.

Is it reasonable to provide an alternate download location?

Regards
Andrew
