[comp.sys.mac] Message for Rich Straka

jroberts@mipos3.intel.com (Joe Roberts) (09/22/87)

I would like to apoligize to everyone on the Net for putting what should have
been a mail message, in this newsgroup. It was the only way I could think of
to get this message to Rich Straka after I lost his mail path. I tried using
the following path: intelca!hplabs!rutgers!moss!ihlpf!straka, but mail gave
me an error saying that the event was not found. I have to admit that I have
not sent very much stuff over to other Unix sites so I am not sure how I would
reach Rich via 'mail'. Anyway please forgive me and hopefully I will not do this
again.

I would love to get all of the stuff you have (any and all). If it is not
too much trouble that is. How will you send it to me? Let me know and thank
you very much for your help I greatly appreciate it.

I have this flier with Bill the cat on it speaking out on the evils of DOS. 
It happens to have the same saying as your Advice of the day. It is really
quite hilarious and if you don't already have it I would be happy to send
it to you via US (snail) mail.

    Here we go again. For some reason I just can't get any message to 
    the 'ihlpf' node from here. I have tried several paths, among them:

    straka@ihlpf.ATT.COM
    straka@ihlpf.UUCP
    intelca!hplabs!rutgers!moss!ihlpf!straka

    The first and second paths are not know by the MAILER-DAEMON here on
    my node. The third one apparently goes through but I never get replies
    back so I am not sure if they went through or not. Anyway I apologize
    for putting this on the net, but hey I'm desperate.

Hi Rich,

    Are my messages getting through to you?? I am not sure because I have
    sent a previous message and I did not hear any thing from you.

    I want to thank you for your help in getting the Binhex programs.
    Unfortunately 'macput' and 'unpit' did not make it here. If you would
    not mind too much, could you please mail me those again.

    Also, I am compiling these in Ultrix 2.0-1. Should I be using the
    -DBSD or the -DSYSV option when compiling. Please send me any info
    you can on this because I am not well versed in the differences between
    systems.
