Yes! I would be interested in getting a copy or seeing it posted! Let's see the flow of comp.binaries.mac increase! (BTW, how does one post to SUMEX?)

This was on Mac+ running from Suitcase, with the new system/finder (4.2/6.0). This happened with and without multifinder running. The system has been stable since setup. The only other ways I've crashed under Multifinder have been: 1) open some DA's with no memory (they try to put up a box but don't qute manage). 2) Openning MacCalc :-( . Is something I don't know about wrong with my system, or is something you don't know about wrong with sigmaedit under the new system (or under Suitcase)? If so I hope you fix it soon, as it does have wonderful features for working with a Unix host via a terminal emulator (sure beats Emacs). -- Michael Lonetto UUCP:(allegra!phri!lonetto) Dept of Applied Genetics Public Health Research Institute, 455 1st Ave, NY, NY 10016

(BTW, how does one post to SUMEX?) actually, there is not much need to post to INFO-MAC directly, as the readers of INFO-MAC have summaries available of the articles appearing here. (you may have noticed the announcements in INFO-MAC of DELPHI and USENET digests) however, just for the curious, you can submit articles to any ARPA-bboard or the group-moderators by sending Email to the group just as you would to any individual on ARPA (the distinction between Email and Bboards on ARPA is different from news and mail with uucp), in other words, to submit an article to appear in INFO-MAC you send mail to (for example) INFO-MAC%SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU@harvard.uucp or .....!harvard!sumex-aim.stanford.edu!info-mac you can replace "harvard" with the ARPA-gateway nearest you. Also, any ARPA-gateway worth the name should have an alias which does automatic mail-forwarding, so that sending mail to info-mac@harvard.uucp should cause the mail to get forwarded to info-mac@sumex.stanford.edu, but then again, that would, probably, be too easy ... and a real user-friendly UUCP-site might make life easier for their users by providing a site-alias "arpa-gateway" and "csnet-gateway" and ... which would point to the nearest gateway (such that the individual users would never have to worry or learn those magical names); then users could send mail to: info-mac%sumex.stanford.edu@arpa-gateway.uucp now the totally, user-friendly system-administrator would create an entry in /usr/lib/aliases for info-mac (and other groups) with the proper magic such that his local users could send mail directed to "info-mac" and never have to wonder or learn how the mail actually gets there .... another interesting (and little-known?) fact is that if you "follow-up" to a moderated news-group, your article will often be converted into a mail-message to the moderator of that group - but I am not very confident that replying to an article in comp.sys.mac.digest would trigger such a mail-msg to the moderator. In the case of INFO-MAC (and several other popular groups) the moderator often found himself unable to deal with the additional load from non-ARPA readers and discouraged such msg-traffic. BTW, I am also very dissatisfied with the msg-traffic in ~binaries.mac and would like to suggest that we have more than one submitting moderator, specially as I have seen major disruptions to groups when they relied (depended?) on a single individual finding the time to do the work (remember, it's time one has to find outside of working hours and duties imposed by non-electronic beings :-) I, for one, would be glad to help out with some of the work. In particular, I was thinking of offering to work together with the people at SUMEX in making available new items announced in INFO-MAC (and archived in the SUMEX and SIMTEL archives). I used to do such forwarding in an irregular fashion (before we renamed net.micro.mac and created a moderated group for binaries ....) but suggested that this be automated somehow so that things get submitted directly from Stanford when the files get archived. I still think that's the way of doing it with the least wasted effort, but .... -- werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (prefered address) kraut@emx.cc.utexas.edu kraut@ut-emx.UUCP (or ...!ut-sally!ut-emx!kraut)
