I am in charge for a gopher and a WAIS-server here, "Lund University
Electronic Library". For those who don't know gopher is a system for browsing
and WAIS is a system for distributed databases, both working over Internet.
Both are easy to use and provide access to lots of information all over the
world.

I'd be willing to provide place for an archive and other interesting stuff
if You all think it would be usefull? And ofcourse I help help with
pointers and access to the stuff. What I can't do is to spend much time
on formatting and such stuff.
Let me know what you think!

For those who know our gopher is
Name=Lund Univ. Electron. Library, Sweden: UB2 Gopher
Type=1
Port=70
Path=
Host=munin.ub2.lu.se
We have a subject tree with menues for environmental information as well
as botany. (Both needs to be expanded).
