I have posted a version of arc that can deal with squashed archives to alt.sources. This a quick hack with minimal testing; a better version will follow as I have time. Dan Lanciani ddl@harvard.*

I would like to request that someone on the alternate groups backbone consider posting a monthly note (or answers to common questions AND a monthly note) letting us know where we can contact to find a site downloading the alt groups, what they are about, etc. Basically somewhere we can see it each month, like the other useful info articles that are kept in a place like new.announcements.newusers or where ever. Personally, the place _I_ would like to see it would be in news.admin or news.misc; someplace where I could forward to my local sys admin to pester until we start getting this info. My company would probably get these if we knew a) how and b) some idea of committements needed, etc. MORE INFO PLEASE! Thank you for your support. -- Larry W.

Both files were truncated when they got to our site. Is there another path that I might be able to reach the moderator of comp.sources.misc/comp.binaries.ibm.pc? I have sent him several messages and they always seem to be returned. Must be some limit on the number of pathnames in a path, I guess :-). -- Tom Frauenhofer ...!seismo!rochester!ur-tut!tfra "The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity." -- Harlan Ellison

The first part never appeared on alt.sources here and the versions posted to this group were both truncated. If someone has a good copy of the first part, I would greatly appreciate seeing it! (The second part is about 2700 lines, the first part is >>390) I will be willing to mail the second part to the first few requests, and to anyone with part one! Fred Holtz holtz@sdcsvax.UCSD.EDU

Come on, folks! There are certain 'standard' nets that ALL can receive, and then there are these few (alt, net.sources) that seem to have a life of their own, but are snuffed out at certain hubs!

But Phil, *ANYONE* can get the alt.all groups. All it requires is
enough initiative on the part of your usenet administrator to arrange
for a feed. Enough sites get alt.all that this shouldn't be too
difficult. Every host that I have usenet access on has them.
