Neither were two of our downstream sites. All of us are running C news and I'm 100% sure that a mail response was sent back (twice, actually) to version@uunet. I looked for other C news sites I know of in Sweden, but they were also missing. Is Rick discriminating against C news cites or perhaps his scripts couldn't handle the terse C news version reporting ``echo C | mail "$SENDER"''? Or did lots of mail get lost? The latter reason seems the most likely but strange, since we connect directly to uunet. Still: why are (seemingly) lots of C news sites missing? -- Dept. of Electrical Engineering pell@isy.liu.se University of Linkoping, Sweden ...!uunet!isy.liu.se!pell

We don't even report with quite the terseness of most C sites --- I hacked in version info. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.

I dunno; ncoast was correctly reported, and I haven't (yet) modified our
"version" script to send the patchdate.
