As mentioned earlier this week, our problems in providing a news feed to oscvax seem to not be solvable given that the one person there with an interest and ability in UNIX, the news, etc. (Ron Janzen, formerly oscvax!ron, now alias!ron) is no longer at the Science Centre. I have blown away all 248 batches of news destined for them since we had been holding it for up to 10 days and nobody there seemed interested, disabled their machine's account, and will be contacting their downstream sites (utflis and alias) on Monday about alternate arrangements. In a slightly editorial aside, the Science Centre seems to be going to standalone micros for their applications and nobody there seems interested any longer in connectivity. Ron predicted such a scenario when he left. -- David Harrison | "God does not play dice with Dept. of Physics, Univ of Toronto | the universe." -- Einstein UUCP: uunet!attcan!utgpu!utfyzx!harrison | "Quit telling God what to BITNET: HARRISON@UTORPHYS | do." -- Neils Bohr
