Howdy, I too am missing some parts of starchart: specifically, the Yale Star Catalog data files. I have all the code files but no data to work from. I would very much like a copy of any and all games that are being distributed by readers of this network. I am currently operating as games manager on a system, and more public domain games are always needed. VMS games are especially wanted, but as long as the program is not extremely convoluted I can (and have in the past) convert them. Finally, on the subject of appropriate newsgroups raised earlier: some of you may not know this, but this newsgroup is redistributed to ARPA and BitNet sites as a mailing list known as Unix-Sources. In turn, our mail to Unix-Sources gets ported to net.sources on USENET. I, for one, do not have ANY access to USENET other then through remailers and redistributed lists. I suspect many others are in this position too. So, before you criticize someone for posting to the wrong newsgroup, ask: did that person have any choice? For many of us the only way we can post is to go to net.sources - net.sources.d and the comp.sources group are not available.
