From: Saul <Jaffe@RUTGERS.ARPA> Hi folks, Due to an error on my part there was no issue V8 #131. You haven't missed anything. I have been receiving messages lately from the mailer Daemon saying that mailboxes were protected at some sites, and that some hosts were down. If you have been having trouble receiving SF-LOVERS, please let me know and maybe we can straighten things out. I hate reading all that returned-to-sender junk. At this time I would like to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas, or a belated Channukah or Merry Whatever-it-is that you celebrate this time of year. -------

From: Saul <Jaffe@RUTGERS.ARPA> I would like to ask everyone when submitting messages to sf-lovers to please try and limit your message to one topic. It is much easier to get the messages into a digest that way. Also, when answering a book-request please try and indicate which request your message answers. It is very hard for me (and the people who make the requests) to figure out which story line goes with the title you've sent in your message. Your help is appreciated. Saul -------

From: Saul <Jaffe@RUTGERS.ARPA> In the last issue I announced that Larry Niven's "Down in Flames" was available via FTP at Rutgers. Use the ANONYMOUS login of FTP to access it. The file is in <jaffe.sfl>down-in-flames.txt. Happy reading. Saul -------

From: Saul <Jaffe@RUTGERS.ARPA> HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! It seems that we have finally solved our problems in regards to the connection between SF-LOVERS on the ARPA network and NET.SF-LOVERS on USENET. When SRI changed machines, our connection was lost. We now have a UNIX machine here at Rutgers and we are connected to the network and have re-established our connection between the two newsgroups. This means that messages mailed to SF-LOVERS@RUTGERS will be queued up for the digest as before but will now also go to net.sf-lovers on the usenet automatically. Messages passing through net.sf-lovers on the usenet will now be forwarded to me for the digest so the people on the ARPA network can read and enjoy. A very special thanks to the following people: Mel Pleasant (Pleasant@rutgers) for writing the code and helping to set things up for us; and Donn Seeley (Donn@utah-cs) for forwarding usenet messages to me in the interim. And now, on with the show....... -------
