I need the two Cnews patches from August.
A while ago I mailed this request to c-news@utstat.toronto.edu, I also
mailed the person who posted a request of Cnews patches to this group earlier
this week. No luck. Could someone please mail me these two patches, or tell
me where to get them?

We'd very much prefer to avoid running a patch-mailing service; the c-news address is meant for bug reports and the like. You should have gotten a reply, although it's possible that we simply didn't get your message at all. The comp.sources.unix archivers are the preferred contacts for patches; they get them by mail at the same time as the postings. -- "Where is D.D.

This seems to be a common occurance and brings up a question in my mind. The C news sources were posted to comp.sources.unix were they not? Then why in h*ll aren't the official patches posted there as well. The moderator there recently, as well as the one for comp.misc, assured everyone that patches are given expidited treatment. These moderated groups are automatically archived on many sites (mine included) but there is no way we can archive every conceivable news group where someone might post a patch. POST THE PATCHES WHERE YOU POSTED THE SOURCES!! This was at the heart of a long and sometimes bitter discusion of creating "comp.sources.patches". The group failed and the discusion finally wound down only after Rick Saltz (comp.sources.unix) and others kicked in and assure one and all of their support for patches in the groups. To the authors of C news: Give us a break and post all patches PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE to comp.source.unix WHERE THEY BELONG! This should make life simpler on all of us and cut way down on this "Where can I find patches" bullsh*t. This goes for the authors of other related packages as well. Post your patches where you posted your sources. We are not all long distance mind readers out here on the net. Michael H.

But I don't have the facts and figures on osu-cis anon uucp. Whats the baud rate, the phone number, and the chat sequence. I've seen the postings about the presence of these archives before, but not once have I seen the particulars. I also archive comp.archives and can't find anythng in there (although I did loose two months worth due to a typo in the sys file). Regardless of the osu-cis archives, we do still need all patches posted to the original groups the sources were posted to. --- Michael H.

Every month or so, Karl posts a long message containing all that as
well as a description of what is in the archive.

Comp.archives has a mail server. Send a message to
comp-archives-server@twwells.com with the following contents:
path wittsend!mhw
send index
send help
quit
and it will send you a help message and the current index. You can
use this to get information on whichever sites you've lost.
(Others: substitute your e-mail address for wittsend!mhw to get this
info. And, oh yes, those of you with archives, let me know if you'd
like to be listed.)
