I would like to mention to all the people who want the tech notes posted that some of us get this discussion as mail (everything's forwarded from comp.sys.apple over to info-apple) and if the size or number of these tech notes is great some of our mailboxes could become overloaded (mainly those of us on the Bitnet side on "vaxen" (I hate that word ;-))). Best to send them to archive sites and post the locations, as planned, so that those who want them can get them. The tech notes are different from the straight discussion in that i usually discard the discussion mail after i read it, but I wouldn't discard the tech notes... handling large volumes of disposable mail (maybe I keep 1 in 20 articles for maybe 2 weeks, then print & delete it or just delete) is easier than getting a lot of stuff you want to keep all at once...

As text files they occupy over 2 MB of disk space and the sheer number would be enough to overwhelm a few sites (especially if they have multiple subscribers). I will be posting future updates, but I will not post the complete set. If you don't have FTP access, then you should at least be able to get them from BROWNVM. If you cannot get them from BROWN or FTP, then send me mail and we'll see what can be done. I will be sending out tests to all the sites which requested the Notes after this weekend. We are currently undergoing a machine upgrade and I have no guarantee of reliability until then. Mark B.

I certainly hope (hint, hint) that these are put in APPLE2-L, some ftp sites, and also some uucp-accessible sites, to accomodate all of us... (I think the original intent was to put them on archive siteS (plur.). Actually if there were an appropriate newsgroup to post them to, that would be great, but comp.sys.apple is not a good place just because of the cross-mailing. Maybe comp.doc.techreports or something? >J.
