rusty@nmsu-ee.UUCP (Rusty Baldwin) (10/18/87)
Well , I've had a few requests for the software (how gratifying)
so here it. Try it ! It can also be used from DOS in .BAT files
to prompt for user input.
The following is a uuencoded ARC file. Run it through
uudecode and then deARC it. Hope you find it useful.

All too often postings seem to be introduced in this way! Not everyone has requested this program or even knows what it is supposed to do. Although the tutorial on uudecoding the file and deARCing it may be useful to a few novices, I think that a short description of what the program does would be more useful to more people.

I'm getting *REAL TIRED* of seeing great raves for some piece
of software, going to the trouble to get it, decode it, etc., just to
find it's something I already have (another variant/whatever) or don't
want/need.
I'm all in favor of sharing the wealth, but let's have some
consideration, people.rusty@nmsu-ee.UUCP (10/23/87)

I'm sorry that my posting confused you and that you couldn't tell what the program PARAPASS was or what it does. I thought that since I posted a note a few days previous explaining what PARAPASS was, that repeating it for the actual posting would be redundant. Please refer to the previous posting for the details. The title is 'Any Takers?'. Or better yet, unpack PARAPASS and read the DOC file. (it's pretty short). Rusty Baldwin nmsu-ee!rusty

Then try this: grab it, uudecode, de-arc it and READ THE DOC FILE.
Then you'll know "everything there is to know" about it and can
decide whether to keep it or not.
You can at least do THAT much to reap the benefits of someone else's
work, can't you?
Of course if there's no .DOC (or similar) file we're prety much all
S.O.L. anyway, right?

PS - note the leading "<" in the quoted section instead of the
normal ">" characters. This fools the news-posting program into
thinking there is NO quoted text and so it doesn't hassle me about
"too much quoted stuff, not enough original text." twb@hoqax.UUCP (BEATTIE) (10/29/87)

The title > is 'Any Takers?'. Or better yet, unpack PARAPASS and read the DOC file. > (it's pretty short). This is a very bad attitude. 1. The subject line on the two postings was different. 2. The follow-up posting of the software wasn't posted as a follow-up. So it is pretty difficult to know there was a parent article and even harder to find it. 3. It is not reasonable to suggest that everyone take a copy of the posting, uudecode it, de-ARC it and then look for a DOC file just to find they didn't want it in the first place. It is always a good idea to supply at least a brief description of all software when it is posted. You can't assume everyone has seen, read and remembers all previous postings! Tom Beattie Slurm - n.

It takes only a few moments for the author of this code to write a short description of the codes purpose for others to know basically what he or she can or might use it for. Suggesting one must download the code just to find out what it does is utterly ludicrous! Please, if you post software to the net, take the time to comment to posting enough that one can understand what the codes function is. -- Tim Margeson (206)253-5240 PO Box 3500 d/s C1-937 @@ 'Who said that?'
