The following post from Dave Rocks at the University of New 
Mexico appeared on comp.os.os2.announce last Friday (May

I have been the sponser of the hobbes OS/2 ftp site 
since it moved to New Mexico State 8 or 9 years ago. Since 
I have had a 80 hour work week all that time, I've 
benefitted from the support of others who have done the 
actual 'archiver' work. Since Josh Shagam graduated a few 
weeks ago, hobbes has been running on autopilot. I probably 
won't find a replacement in the  near future and will take 
some  of my weekends to try to process the files, but 
expect things to be even slower than before.

Please understand that hobbes has been run more or 
less as a free trade zone. I don't provide OS/2 support and 
I avoid all flames.  We apply the universities restrictions against pornagraphy, observe individual rights to privacy 
and ownership, restrict the site to things related to OS/2, 
but otherwise don't pay much attention to what comes and 
goes. The only resources I have are those I can beg from 
the university. We don't get paid for this nor do we have 
an external sponsor. The most we've received is a couple of 
disk drives from IBM'ers  who supported OS/2.

So please, be patient and un-critical. This is a free 
service so give it the respect all 'free' things deserve. I 
don't need a lot  of mail, complimentary or critical. 
hobbes future will be decided this summer, but only as I 
get time to address it. I can't promise to be quick about 
it.

Thanx for your consideration in advance.
