The 4.4BSD distribution will soon be available via anonymous ftp. I have
obtained a copy, but I have a Gentlebeing's agreement with Keith Bostic
not to make it available until Walnut Creek receive their copy. From email
today, their copy finally has been shipped to them. Therefore, I believe
I can make 4.4 available in the next few days.

I'd like to call on other Australian ftp archives to mirror the distribution
(over the weekend would be great), and we can simultaneously make 4.4
anonymously ftpable from several Australian ftp sites early next week.

If (and ONLY if) you are an Australian ftp site, please contact me to get
the details for obtaining 4.4BSD. Please remember:

	+ ONLY anonymous ftp sites should contact me.
	+ please abide by the agreement not to make 4.4 available until I
	  can confirm with Keith that Walnut Creek have their copy.

You can contact me after 6pm tonight on (06) 249 6249; this may be a
faster way to get the ftp details than by email.

Thanks again for your co-operation!
