I don't mean to impose on anybody, but could someone inform
us on the availability of DlgDgn (goodies.zip) at Garbo ?
I don't want to keep looking. Partly, ftping there everytime
is not the most cost-effective solution and partly because
I don't want to stay on the lookout.
As a general procedure, when a product gets in the incoming
directory, how long should it take before it becomes available ?
--Naji.
P.S. I didn't feel like downloading all the frequently asked questions
for this one. I hope this is not too much of an inconvinience.

You are not imposing at all. On the contrary. This is a most sensible question. I took a quick look, and goodies.zip is not yet available. That means that it still has to be on my fellow moderator's queue. >I don't want to keep looking. Partly, ftping there everytime >is not the most cost-effective solution and partly because >I don't want to stay on the lookout. You are absolutely right. But if you do peek in occasionally, the trick is to get /pc/_files.in using batchftp (automated ftp). That is the least wasteful method, and using it is very easy once you have managed to set it up for the first time. >As a general procedure, when a product gets in the incoming >directory, how long should it take before it becomes available ? That depends on the current load of garbo moderators (Harri Valkama and Timo Salmi). The range is rather wide from almost immediate to perhaps one week (there is no fixed maximum). >--Naji. > >P.S.

In fact the answer to this one even isn't there. ...................................................................
