While unpacking the PCMAIL distribution, I got the following error:
shar: Extracting "comport.s" (20454 characters)
shar: "comport.s" unpacked with wrong size!
The comport.s that I got is:
-rw-r----- 1 paul sysadm 20452 Apr 30 12:21 comport.s
which is apparantly two bytes too small. Can someone who got this
file intact please e-mail YOUR INTENTION to send me the correct file.
Don't send the file; I don't need my mailbox flooded with copies. I'll
pick the person closest (read: least number of hops) to me to actually
send the file.
Thanks in advance.

I received "wrong size" indications for both comport.s and gtrans.c. ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ I would REALLY like to get a clean set of files for PCMAIL, so if anyone could email these two files to me I would really appreciate it. Thanks. . . .

The two missing characters are just extraneous carriage-returns at the end of the file. I came to this comclusion by comparing the news articles with the originals submitted for posting in comp.sources.misc. I also found a change in the second shar file; this also is not fatal. The diffs are listed below. For those not familiar with context diffs, the original text is listed first, followed by the changed version. Lines with ! indicate the differences. *** Part01 Wed Apr 20 17:21:59 1988 --- /usr/spool/news/comp/sources/misc/96 Tue Apr 26 11:18:07 1988 *************** *** 684,691 X_TEXT ENDS X Xend ! X^M !

Part 3 of the recent PCMAIL posting aparently lost
a large chunk of data on its way to my system.
Could somebody please e-mail this section to me?
Thanks in advance!
