            domain and shareware software including complete collections

            (IENs)  from  the  Internet  Engineering Task Force are con-
            tained in the archives.

            To save  space,  most  of  the  files  in  the  archive  are
            compressed  using  the  UNIX 'compress' utility. WUArchive's
            FTP server can uncompress files on the fly  if  you  do  not
            have access to UNIX COMPRESS.

            Useful files:

               o+  /info/arrangement - shows  current  structure  of  the
                  archives with short explanations.  Other useful infor-
                  mational files are also in the /info directory.

               o+  README and README.NFS - general information and infor-
                  mation about NFS mounting of WUArchive.

            Mailing list:

               o+  A mailing list has been created  for  the  purpose  of
                  notifying  interested  persons of changes in status of
