From: edmoy%ucbopal.CC@UCB-VAX The last few days I've noticed a lot a mail claiming that some useful DA's and applications were archived into <info-mac>. When I ftp to sumex and did an `ls' on the particular items, they don't seem to be there as advertised. In particular, I wanted the new (version 2.1 ?) binhex and the explore DA in DAM format, though it was there in non-sumacc C. I did find the mock* family, but when I copied them over, I noticed that they had blank lines between each real line. Worse yet was that mockprint.hcx did not seem to be a binhex file at all, because I found lots of control characters in it. I'm sure that trying to keep up with posting all the software you get is quite a chore, and I just wanted to bring these discrepancies to your attension. I think you are providing an invaluable service for all Mac lovers across the country (applause!).

From: John Mark Agosta <INFO-MAC-REQUEST@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> Ed - Thanks for bringing the problems about the DA postings to my attention. They were placed in info-mac by Gus Fernandez, who is aware of the problems and, I believe, will repair things. Your patience and that of other info-mac readers is appreciated. -jma -------
