[news.config] Some UUCP map observations

page@ulowell.cs.ulowell.edu (Bob Page) (03/11/87)

Looking over the new maps (and after fixing them for ames and a few
other sites), I have some observations:

1. The d.top, d.country and d.glue files became d.Top, d.Country and
   d.Glue.  The d.att file was not posted.  All this is fine, but if
   you use automatic map/path generating software, you should know
   that you have to take out the old files.

2. u.usa.nb.1 was renamed to u.usa.ne.1, but again, the old file is
   still there, so erase it if you have not already done so.

3. the d.Glue file apparently has a typo for princeton; two
   characters are transposed, making it "prinecton".

4. Spending a morning poking through the maps and comparing the new ones
   to the old ones can be quite an education.  Same is true with the
   old and new pathalias output.
