The only damage has been the downloading of enormous quantities of material. Enough to slow triples to a halt and also to get the computing centre upset enough to threaten to remove us from their net. Therefore, we have disabled anonymous ftp. I am now trying to find out if the material is available from the web and, if not, how to make it available. In any case, if there is something you need, please write and ask the author and s/he will undertake to email it to you. Later on, we will decide what to do. One possibility is to password protect it and announce the password on this list. This will protect us from random browsers, while leaving it available to all subscribers to this list. Michael
