I know it is considered rude or against the rules, but please keep on posting programs to the discussion list, otherwise many of us will never get a chance to use them. Thanks Bruce Heimbigner Email: Snail mail: HEIMBIG@WSUVM1.bitnet N.W. 324 True Street OR Pullman WA 99163-3347 (USA) BIX:bheimbigner (but I don't get on here very often) (IBM=International Business Marketing corp, they don't make machines they market products) ***Hey, that stuff up there is just my opinion***

Ok folks, here's the deal: Would anyone be interested in us
posting uploads for the past week to comp.sys.atari.st?
What I'm referring to is our New* files. Each week, they roll over and
essenstially keep a list of all new stuff in the past month that has
entered the archive.
Does anyone think this should be posted? Or, is mail service via
bart and ftp availability enough?
Please lemme know, via mail or through this group. We're not even
going to pretend to run an offical call for votes, just an
informal thing.

Well, the gist of my mail seems to be that most people would be interested
in :
1. Creating a new newsgroup to post things like the new uploads list
or
2. Posting it to comp.binaries.atari.st
Problems I forsee with this:
1. People who receive c.s.a.st in digest form completely miss out
on good info.....
2. Why bother Steve Grimm?
3. There would hardly be enough traffic in a new group to warrant
it's existence
4. I don't feel like getting a new group created :)
Comments, ideas, etc. here or to me please....

Iy would be nice if such postings were automated, and in a regular format, for instance, a constant subject line. This way `rkive' can be used effectively to keep a systematic log of new downloads on terminator. -- -- Salvador Pinto Abreu spa@fct.unl.pt Universidade Nova de Lisboa, PORTUGAL

Yes! I would like to see a list. With the current signal to noise ratio, I don't think this would be much of a bother to anyone. ---- Paul Moreau ----

Yup, I think posting a list of the weeks uploads is a good idea. I also think think that you should maintain an ls -lR listing of the archive as well as the commented listing. This enables far away users with poor news feed the ability to find out what software and online mags are new by diffing the last listing they downloaded with the new listing.
