Mark Tinguely (tinguely@plains.NoDak.edu) spoke thus:
: as a unsolicited observation that no one has mentioned. I expect some delay
: in getting 4.4-lite to ftp sites is an attempt to get some much needed money
: to UCB.

4.4-lite is available in src.doc.ic.ac.uk in /packages/unix/4.4bsd-lite:

ftp> dir
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     other         512 Jun 15 10:04 .
drwxr-xr-x  29 root     root         1024 Jun 15 08:46 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    43387714 Jun 15 08:58 bsd-4.4-lite.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     other        1536 Jun 15 10:04 split
ftp>

The split directory contains the .tar.gz file split into 85 x 512000 byte
pieces.

I can't wait to get a faster Internet connection (current is 14.4 SLIP
<sigh>).  Just a few more weeks, now...
