Does anyone know whether uuhosts -unbatch will still work? I'm a bit
worried about jumping up to patch #13 (we're stable at #8) and would
like some breathing time to see if #13 is stable. If uuhosts will
continue to work, it can deal with the additional articles (I have it
set up to delete the article after extracting the map). If not, I've
got double trouble...

uuhosts should still work as always. The only difference in the
individual articles is that each will contain only one map file.

We were discussing getting ourselves up to #12 a week or so ago, but
there was concern expressed about the stability at that level. I
dropped Rick Adams a short note asking about it (since 9 req'd 10, 10
broke sendbatch, 11 fixed sendbatch and broke expire, 12 fixed
expire), and he responded very quickly to say that #12 leaves you with
a stable system. #13 may have problems, but you should be OK at #12.

The latest patch, 2.11 patch #13, has just been ^^^^^^^^^^ > released and posted to the newsgroup news.software.b. > [...] Updates [to the map] will be posted with a Supercedes: header. ^^^^^^^^^^ Actually, that's the "Supersedes:" header, not the "Supercedes:" header. "Supersedes:" is correct, and the spelling error is in the article, not the software. I generally avoid spelling flames on the net, but I hope that the map data will have the proper (non-misspelled) header, and that others who use the Supersedes: header take care that they do not misspell it as well.
