	Easiest place to get stuff like this is to ftp to:

	wuarchive.wustl.edu (I think that is the whole thing)
	cd mirrors/garbo.uwasa.fi/unix

	garbo.uwasa.fi is one site that archives only msdos
utlities/programs.  I've seen GNU stuff in that particular
directory, among other things. (even gcc is found there)

	The other good place is:

	ftp.uu.net
	cd /archive/systems/ibmpc/msdos/simtel20

	The directories there seem to go on forever as well.
Haven't had a chance to see what is there yet though, so
I'm not positive about that one.

I trying to find out what the length of time someone has to live with someone
else before it is considered a common law marriage.  I am also wondering
what is used to prove the length of time.
 
If someone knows these answers, or where I can find them, please let me

Why isn't this more widespread? I have been telling the Citizen every
time they have called over the last two years that I would subscribe
if they could offer morning delivery. As it is they are losing a reader,
as I now only buy the paper once or twice a week. I know that other
people in my neighbourhood subscribe to the (yuck) Sun just because
it has morning delivery. Personally I'm not that desperate.

As for bias in the Citizen, ALL newspapers are biased. It is called
their editorial position and it DOES creep into pure news stories.
What the poster actually means is that their biases don't agree
with his.

As I recall, in my neighbourhood the closest thing to a poll was that for
two months before they started delivering in the morning they just delivered
the morning edition to us (at 5pm).  They then sent us a letter saying in
effect "Since nobody complained about the stale news we are unilaterally
changing delivery to the AM."  I don't think that constitutes a scientific
poll.  I and a number of my neighbours were annoyed by this attitude, and
some of them cancelled the paper.

Are there any "soap box" mechanics out there? Big Brothers of Ottawa is
holding a soap box derby on Sept. 13 for Big & Little Brothers. My Little
Brother and I are feverishly building our entry. A kit was supplied with wheels
and steering mechanism. However, we have to design a functional foot-operated
brake. I'm not sure if the wheels would hold up to a brake that pressed down on
the tread, so we may need something that drags on the ground. Does anyone have
any experience with building such a device? Any suggestions are appreciated.

   Tired of living in a human filing cabinet? Looking for more open space
   than you can find in the city? If so, you will be pleased to know that
   I am searching for one or possibly two housemates.

      My house's vital stats:
         - very open and spacious (yes it is furnished)
         - three bedrooms  (soom furnishing available)
         - large driveway 
         - large yard (1/2 acre - lots of trees)
         - fridge, stove, microwave, washer, dryer, TV, stereo, etc

   Picture yourself in a small community along a large bay N/W of Kanata 
   (upstream of the pollution and within a few hundred feet of the nearest 
   beach access point). The tranquility completely engulfs you. A multitude 
   of outdoor activities (sailing, swimming, canoeing, golf, horseback riding, 
   fishing, X-country & downhill skiing, snowmobiling, flying, gliding, ...) 
   at your fingertips. Also, a corner store, gas bar, bakery, and great
   restaurant are all within a couple of blocks.

   The location is ideal for someone working in the Kanata area but is also    
   fairly good for someone working on the West end of Ottawa.

   A mere $250/month (utilities included) gives you full access to the house. 
   Call Glenn (832-3899) now to book your viewing.

and all appliances.  The border would have a funished room, kitchen
privileges with seperate fridge, semi-private bathroom, access to computer,
access to laundry room, parking is available, and many extras.  The location is

The Citizen produces 3 editions.  First Edition goes to out-of-town
locations (it comes off the press at 22:00 the night before the date on
the paper).  Morning Edition goes to newspaper boxes, re-sellers and home
delivery customers in areas that receive morning delivery.  Final
Edition goes to home delivery customers in areas that receive afternoon
delivery.

The Citizen polled all of its home delivery customers some time ago.
Areas where at least 51% of respondants prefered morning delivery receive
morning delivery.  All other areas continue to receive the classic

It's just too bad that we can't get a _real_ paper delivered in this city.

It all depends on the  price  and  quality  you're  looking  for.
StarTop furniture has good price:quality ratio. Ikea too (yech!).
Colonial furniture has higher quality furniture so the prices are
higher.  They do sell Gibbard and Sklar Peppler. However, in that
category of furniture I find that Eaton's  has  the  best  price.
I've  checked  Eaton's,  Colonial,  Ormes and Saslove for Gibbard
furniture and Eaton's is the lowest. Although I got  the  impres-
sion  Saslove's  was willing to deal more (I was dealing with one
of the owners directly - advantage ?), I  find  even  Eaton's  is
willing   to   deal.  I mean they're all willing to deal but some
more than others. Like I find that Ormes is  the  least  willing.
Dante's has more exotic furniture but I can't vouch for the qual-
ity since I don't know  the   manufacturers   (but  some   pieces
don't  seem  very high quality to me). But the prices aren't that
high so some things are  well   priced  (they're   always  having
sales,  that's why the prices are good).  Ethan Allan has incred-
ibly beautiful high quality stuff, all American I   believe,  but
the   prices   are   astronomical  (one  day when I'm richer ;-).
Valley Squire has some nice high quality stuff but it's all colo-
nial  style  furniture  (nice  if you like that style). There are
plenty of other stores but that's all I'm familiar with.

The afternoon edition is primarily intended for people who have home
delivery.
The news can't really be considered to be old unless you also buy the
morning edition.  The only reason a separate afternoon edition is produced is
so any hot news stories which break after the morning edition goes to press 
will be included.

It is generally expected that people will buy the same
edition of the paper each day.  A hot story which breaks after the morning
edition has gone to press will be on the front page of the afternoon edition
and should also be prominently placed in the next days morning edition.  
If you bought a morning edition each day you'd be assured of getting all the
current news.  If you bought a morning edition today and an afternoon edition
tomorrow you could miss a major story.

Including Hull?  Or is there a separate distribution?  (In that case,
maybe we need another level - maybe nc for National Capital.)  I hope
there's only one distribution, though - doesn't make sense to separate
news between Hull and Ottawa.

I have to add a fan in an air duct to get more hot air from the area
heated by the fireplace to the bedrooms upstairs (convection isn't
enough).

I'm looking for a fan, the kind found in a clothes dryer or kitchen
range hood. 110V (or with appropriate transformer) is required.

Will take away for free an old dryer if you have one with a working fan.
