Before everyone goes off and starts ftp'ing from sites in .au, please
would everyone take note of the fact that the export of encyption
technology from Australia is also illegal. Please avoid getting the
maintainers of ftp sites into trouble, and rather download code from
sites such as ftp.funet.fi. (Yes I know a lot of the code there came
from Australia, but indications are that the Australian DoD is not too
worried about code that is already outside Australia.)
(Time for a few countries, incl. Australia, USA, and France to throw
out some of the f*cking stupid laws.)
