ekg@warwick.UUCP (Kevan Gelling) (01/14/89)
Looking through the files sent to comp.{sources|binaries}.amiga in 1988, it
appears I've missed several programs because they were too old and got
deleted before I returned. The ones of particular interest are DROPCLOTH,
TURBOBACKUP, DISKSALV, and LS. If someone could e-mail me them I would be
very grateful.
On the subject of comp.{sources|binaries}.amiga:
Large scale testing will take too long and can't be 100% correct.
If outside testers are used, you are likely to get a lazy few who let the
programs pile up.
An automatic 'unshar,uudecod,cat'er program would be very handy.
If possible I think all programs should have runtime requirements included
in the shar file. (I know if I'd downloaded 'moebius' to find it need 1.5M
I would have been very pissed off).
Keep up the good work Bob
