I can make it available (I'm downloading it now). It'll be available to anyone
who might be interested at:
ftp3.dnswatch.com/pub/ISO/OS/netbsd/ARC/
anonymous ftp always welcome. I've had a fast fulltime connection since 1995
and have *no* plans of changing it. I have a question tho. I notice that it
is larger than a standard CD. Is there anything anyone should know to re-create
this CD? Further, can you supply a little info that might help others attempting
to use this, make the best use of it? I'd like to supply a "README" in the same
directory. It needn't be too elaborate or anything. If you (anyone) should have
any questions about this (or other). Feel free to contact me at:
ftp AT dnswatch.com.
Replace "AT" with @, obviosly. :-)

Sincerely,
 Chris
