This document informs you how to get tin source & binaries in one of 3 ways.
1) Via FTP.
2) Source code via mail.
3) Pre-compiled Binaries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) FTP sites that carry the latest version of tin are:
ftp.Germany.EU.net [192.76.144.129] cd pub/news/tin
src.doc.ic.ac.uk [146.169.2.1] cd ??
NOTE1: Both sites are in Europe (Germany & England respectively).
NOTE2: There will be a small time lag before each of these sites makes
the newest version available as I post firstly to alt.sources
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) For people that do not have FTP access I am willing to send a copy of the
latest released version (or a beta version of the next patchlevel if so
desired).
2.1) I can handle the following media formats. Specify:
5.25 & 3.5 inch floppy disks.
0.25 (1/4) inch cartridge tapes (you supply it).
5.25 inch ISO Read/Write optical disks (you supply it).
2.2) I can handle the following software formats. Specify:
Unix *.tar *.tar.Z *.tar.z *.tar.zoo
Msdos *.zoo *.zip formats
2.3) I make a small handling charge for this service as listed below:
Germany 15 Deustche Marks
England 5 Pounds Sterling
USA 10 Dollars
If you find the above points 2.1 - 2.3 OK send money/cheque with a self-addressed
envelope stating which media & software format you want to the following address:
