Another technique is to use the listserv at auvm (aka american.edu)
and issue the cmd GET NETGATE PACKAGE.  Here is a current $PACKAGE
 
************************ -=< NETGATE >=- *****************************
* The following listing defines the contents of the NETGATE PACKAGE.
*
*Filename  Filetype  Filelist  Description
*--------  --------  --------  -----------
 NETGATE   $PACKAGE  NETNEWS   This File
 NETGATE   POLICY    NETNEWS   Procedure for Establishing a Gateway
 NETGATE   GATELIST  NETNEWS   List of Gatewayed LISTSERV Lists
 NETGATE   MODLIST   NETNEWS   Similar to news.admin Post
*
* You can subscribe to the package  by sending an AFD ADD NETGATE PACKAGE
* command. You will then receive a new version of the file as updates are
* received by the server, with only  the updated files being sent to you.
* You  can also  subscribe to  File  Update Information  notices for  the
* package by sending a FUI ADD NETGATE PACKAGE command.
