My list of recently received INFO-CPM Digests includes issues 49, 50, 52, 53, 54 and 56. There seem to be missing issue numbers dispersed through this list. Am I loosing issues through the mailing system, or does the issue number not increment by one for each successive issue?

Steve, The issue numbers are sequential and consecutive. However, I am told that the mail queuing mechanisms in BITNET give preference to small mail files over larger ones. So, the large INFO-CPM digest messages may arrive late and/or out-of-order. Some may not arrive at all because they are "too big." If you end up missing digests after waiting about a week, send a request for the missing issues to INFO-CPM-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA. --Frank
