For the passed week I've made several attempts to get terminator to send me the utilities/atarimgr.zoo file but I get no responce. I've recieved other files before so I assume I'm doing it right. The command I'm using via uunet is sendb utiltities/atarimgr.zoo I installed MiNT on my ST and can't wait to try MGR on it. Can anybody else send me or tell me where I can get the binaries for MGR ,I can't ftp :^( .

I guess I'll have to go in and manually split the files. (mgrdemos.zoo is over 600K.) (Say, I have an idea for a new feature for BART.... Oh Jon.... }-) -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...

If you want to get anything larger than that you must request it by parts until you get the whole thing. This is all in the help file... >(Say, I have an idea for a new feature for BART....

I haven't used it for a while, but you just type the parts (aa,ab,etc.) after the file name. Figure out how many you can order without going over the limit, and order only those parts. That's how I managed to order the whole gcc 1.37 source from BART (it took over a week -- I really prefer FTP when available).

Trouble is, part of the information is in BART's help but what it omits to tell you *which* files are split into parts. I have found a part to be about 30K so whenever I request a file over this size, I request it in parts - seems to work ok...... 2 ideas for Jon - 1) a request for a split file results in BART sending what it can up to the requestor's limit. 2) the index includes an indication of the number of parts. Hope this helps. John -- John Trickey <jvt@its.bt.co.uk> || ..!mcsun!ukc!axion!its G4REV @ GB7SUT Voice: +44 21 333 3369 #include <std/disclaimer>
