Sorry, I didn't see the original request for information on the Jargon
File. The current version of the Jargon File is 2.9.12 so you need to
look for jargon2912.txt.gz on an archie to find a site near you that
archives it (especially any of you that would have to hop a big puddle
to find it at MIT). My own archie search from University of Nebraska at
Lincoln (archie.unl.edu) generates the following:
I have been unable to connect with pdq.coe.montana.edu any of the times
that I have tried. For those of you unfamiliar with anonymous ftp, ftp
to the above named site, login as ``anonymous'', use your email address as
the password, cd to the correct directory, enter the ``bin'' command to
transmit binary data, and ``get'' the file you want.
Cheerio,
