Due to numerous email requests, here is VirusX version 1.6 in an ARC
file including docs. The source is no longer included by Steve Tibbett
in his distributions... by now hopefully everyone trusts him. And I hope
you trust me :-)
If this pgm isn't in your startup-sequence by now it should be. The docs
elaborate on all the enhancements, viruses checked for, and etc. Please
read it first.

Please, DON'T post important things like this to comp.binaries.amiga. My system is no longer getting any binary groups ( too much expensive bandwidth). This decision was made far upstream of us, so I'm sure there are lots of sites that are not getting binary groups anymore. I don't care about most of the things posted to the binaries ( and I can get to the archives, if necessary), but for programs that everyone should have (such as virusx), a group that everyone gets and reads is a must.

I suspect you only read into the docs far enough to see "VirusX 1.4 Notes." and then stopped reading. Go back and read past that point and you will see addditional notes on 1.5 and 1.6. Steve puts the new notes at the bottom rather than at the top. Sometimes. In other words, read th whole thing... it's all there. Harv Laser, Sysop, The People/Link AmigaZone.

My >system is no longer getting any binary groups ( too much expensive bandwidth). I really don't know the % of UseNet readers who get all 5 Amiga groups vs those who only receive the 2 message (text) groups. But I think that this might be a good time for the 5th and newest member of the Amiga groups (alt.sources.amiga) to come into play. VirusX does include the source code, and since Peter did start this group to cut down on the lag time, this seems like a perfect match. If you only receive the 2 message groups then read on... >This decision was made far upstream of us, so I'm sure there are lots of sites >that are not getting binary groups anymore.

If the decision was made to stop binary groups at your site (or upstream) then posting them to one of the message groups is not the answer but finding a valid alternate method of obtaining those files is. There are quite a few commercial database services that will have these programs (Bix, Plink, Delphi, CIS). And if you don't belong to (or want to join) a commercial service then check into an Amiga BBS. There are hundreds (thousands ?) of them around, most free. It seems like we sometimes forget that UseNet is not the only avenue for us to explore. (Yes "we", even Sneakers is guilty of it sometimes.

That is the purpose of comp.binaries.amiga. Your site is an exception. You should find another source to the software. Perhaps a friendly site can mail it to you. If comp.sys.amiga was to be cut off from you would you suggest that all comp.sys.amiga postings be moved to a more general notes group?

Those of us on Bitnet get only comp.sys.amiga. If louie.UDEL.EDU could be
persuaded to carry the other groups, that would be marvelous, but they're
already doing us a fine public service.
Dan, I spent a year receiving comp.sys.amiga long distance at $10/hour,
so I understand your desire to minimize the cost. It's clear that the
people on Usenet represent a wide range of interests and expertise, and
the percentage of postings that any one person finds interesting may run
low. But still the reasons we're here and not off on some BBS are the
same: (a) timeliness and (b) efficiency.
Naturally, long sources and binaries belong elsewhere, but I hope that
short relevant programs are still acceptable here.
I would not want to see a guideline that would exclude postings like the
"Undelete" program that came from you last month. That was almost 300
lines of uuencode, but if it hadn't been posted here, many people including
myself would still not have access to it.

If it includes the source code, I would be interested in posting that. I don't like to post binaries except for programmer utilities, after the war over the creation of the group. Since I've never gotten a virus, I can't test it, but I can verify that it compiles and everything. I'm open to persuasion with regard to the binaries... -- Peter da Silva `-_-' peter@sugar.uu.net Have you hugged U your wolf today?

My desire is not so much to minimize cost (since I do receive all 5 of the Amiga groups) as much as is it is to see the binaries and sources return to there proper groups. Its seems that the posting of binaries and sources in the message groups have started to become the rule rather than the exception. >Naturally, long sources and binaries belong elsewhere, but I hope that >short relevant programs are still acceptable here. >I would not want to see a guideline that would exclude postings like the >"Undelete" program that came from you last month.

I would like to see an unofficial guide as to the length of files posted to a message group. After all UUCP & UseNet survives on a set of guidelines that are unofficial and I think we could do the same. As for the UnDelete program, I will admit that in the past ive been known to post some long files. Thanx for pointing this out to me and I will try to refrain from doing this in the future. I will continue to post however they will be in the proper newsgroup(s). >Bill Kinnersley PS: Did you like UnDelete? -- Dan "Sneakers" Schein {alegra|amiga|rutgers|uunet}!cbmvax!heimat!sneakers Sneakers Computing 2455 McKinley Ave West Lawn PA 19609 Call: BERKS AMIGA BBS 24 Hrs - 3/12/2400 Baud Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed are 40 Meg -=- 215/678-7691 those of Sneakers Computing Of course heimat is an Amiga, doesn't everyone run UUCP & UseNet on an Amiga?
