(sorry if you've seen this before. i posted it in non-80 column mode)

howdy all,

I would like to announce a reincarnation of banjo.  As a result of some 
marathon FTP sessions, all of banjo has been reproduced on reggae.oit.unc.edu 
in ftp/pub/pc-stuff/Linux.  I will be actively maintaining this so, uploads 
are most encouraged.

This ftp site is trying to be compliant with the IAFA guidelines on archives, 
which are (imho) Good Things. Part of that is to fill in the form below (copies 
of which are available on archives.cc.mcgill.ca in /iafa).  If you can take 
the time to fill this thing out and upload it as package.iafa (where package 
is the tar.Z file you are uploading) into incoming, It will help us make our 
archives available through WAIS and the other cool tools we are working on 
here.

(All of this is of course optional, I will accept all working Linux uploads! 
You are just encouraged to do this and help us make anonymous ftp easier)

If you have any questions, drop me a line at jem@reggae.oit.unc.edu.
