[Openmcl-devel] User contributions

[Rainer Joswig]

Usually many/most of the contributions were also in a contrib  
subdirectory on ftp.digitool.com. But not all.
I just tried to reach this FTP server and it does not seem to be  
reachable.

Would it be possible to serve some MCL software from the Clozure FTP  
site? Especially the documentation, open source versions and the  
contribs?

Regards,

Rainer Joswig
