Actually, I have a few gripes with this BBS which is run by
the Department of Justice (or funded by the DOJ).

I have found that most of the files from the BBS are very poorly
formatted.  Some lines are several hundred characters long, there
are control characters embedded all over the place, and so on.

I have taken all of the files that are on the Department of Justice
BBS, re-formatted them, removed control characters and have these
files along with many others available via anonymous ftp from
"handicap.shel.isc-br.com" (login in as anonymous with your e-mail
address as a password, and cd to /pub/ada) or from the Handicap
News BBS (1-203-337-1607) available for download to first-time callers.

Here is a list of the files that are available right now.  I have
another 10 or 15 files that I am still going through and which should
be available within the next few days.
