I got some mail from Jason Shumate, and I've been unable to reply to
him.  Jason, if you're out there, here is your response.  I don't know
why your mail address doesn't work.  Sorry to bother the rest of you
with this, but I can't think of another way to get in touch with him.

Unfortunately, they are not yet available for anonymous FTP.  I can't
make anonymous FTP available from my machine.  I can FTP to another
site, so I'm looking for an anonymous FTP site which will take these
files.  (Do you have one?)

In the mean time, I can mail you the binaries and/or patches.  The
patches are pretty small.  However, the binaries are over a megabyte,
after being compressed and uuencoded.  Some mailers don't like that
and truncate them.  Let me know if you are interested in mail, or want
to wait for an FTP site to become available.
