Interesting papers on metaprogramming

Dear Robert Glück,

I have greatly appreciated in the past your papers about metacomputation
and various program transformation techniques, Supercompilation in
particular, even with my limited background in theoretical aspects of CS
(I'm a professional computer programmer but I haven't a degree in CS).

Unfortunately the FTP server policy access at DIKU seems changed and
at present doesn't permit an anonymous access. In my opinion this is
a great inconvenient for dissemination of these interesting ideas and
research results.   As a (former?) member of DIKU can you advocate a
return to anonymous access?

Thank you very much for the attention,

Massimo Dentico
