Essalam, Azul, Sahitou, Ahlan, Merhba: I have been collecting some files here and there that may be of interest to Algerians and they are now available in an anonymous ftp site. I give below the instructions and the list of files available. ("a-net" refers to algeria-net.) I was thinking that maybe we could expand this idea to have files that could be of interest to other countries of the Maghreb. If anyone is interested in developing the idea further, let me know.... ar tufat, tebqaw Ela xiir, Sahitou, a la prochaine, besslama Ahmed
