this is for BW I guess... what do the different extenders on the files under <Info-Atari> stand for and which ones differentiate between 16 and 8 bitter programs?

Unfortunately, there is nothing to differentiate between 8 bit and 16 bit programs in <info-atari>. Almost all files are in there original mail-message format, and must be cut, pasted, uudecoded, and de-arced by hand. *.N* are files that have been received but never sent out to the net. Other files are older and may have been sent in some number of pieces soon after there original postings. Some files contain multiple versions of the same program, some files have peices missing. I may actually get araound to distributing atari8 programs to the net via mail, but the volume of normal mail (and the size of programs) for the atari16 list makes this completely impossible.

Does anybody know how to get at the <info-atari> file from bitnet? I haven't been having any success finding out if it even possible. Thanks in advance
