I am pleased to announce the opening of an anonymous ftp site
dedicated to handling programs and information files for the
handicapped.  The site is:

   handicap.shel.isc-br.com

and the IP address is 129.189.4.184

The files on this machine are duplicates of the files from
the Handicap News BBS.  There are nearly 60 directories
on this site and two deal with disability-related laws.

The first directory is /pub/ada and contains not only the
complete text of the American with Disabilities Act but
many related documents.  The second is /pub/legal and
contains the text of such laws as the Rehab act, the equal
access in housing law, and more.

A complete index of all of the files on the archive site is
contained in the file /pub/index.  There are programs and
files covering all disability-related topics.

For misc.legal readers, I've included the "00-index.txt" files from
both the ada and legal directories.

I did not restrict the distribution on this article to
just the United States since there has been interest from
other countries in implementing their own ADA laws and
I thought that it would be of interest to readers throughout
the world.


00-index.txt from /pub/ada

 Note: Many of these files are directly from the Department
 of Justice and I have tried to keep the files named the
 same as they have come from the DOJ.  However, I have taken
 the liberty of changing the file extension from "ASK" for
 Ascii to "TXT" to be consistent with all of the other
 files on this BBS.  Also many of the files had control characters
 imbedded and lines much longer than 80 characters so I have
 re-formatted these to be readable.  I cannot guarantee that
 any of these files are accurate representations of the actual
 laws or documents but are presented here for your information.
