Lately, I've been getting a lot of mail. I wasn't able to
respond to it since I've been spending a few days back home with my
parents (hi, mom). The biggest problem that people have been telling
me about is truncated files. Mostly, the postings that have suffered
are "snip" and "multiview." The copies we have in the archives *are*
complete, so any copies anyone may have ftp'd should have no problems
with them. I'd appreciate it if anyone else that may have received a
truncated file (those unable to ftp new copies, in any case) would let
me know via mail to one of the addresses down in the signature below,
so we can, possibly, track down where they originated, and why. Please,
one reply from a site is plenty (I have enough mail in my spool file
already) to use to track down the problem, so if those sites with more
than one person who uses comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga can
coordinate, I'd appreciate it.
So far, the mail we've been getting has been pretty positive,
even the complaints. Needless to say, we're overjoyed at all the
feedback we've been getting, and we always want to improve, so keep
the questions, comments, and war stories coming. Thank you for your
support...
By the way, the locked-up directories in the archies were a
mistake. When he created the new volumes, Pat (y'all know Pat; y'all
send him *lots* of mail :-) ) forgot to chmod them open. When
confronted with this, Pat said, "Oops." In any case, the new volumes
are now open and available.
