That would be great - if you could upload it to one of the Linux
archive sites, that would be really great. (Perhaps just ftp.uu.net
or some other temporary repository, instead, since it's not real
useful outside of MGR porting, I would guess..)
On a related note, I've created a MGR channel on Mail-Net. To join,
send mail to linux-activists@joker.cs.hut.fi with 'X-Mn-Admin: MGR' on
the first line, and send mail with 'X-Mn-Key: MGR' to post to the
list. Instructions are available by mailing linux-activists-request
at the same site.
