Is someone Please do not post Uniterm 1.6g to the net. This is almost 150k worth of uuencode. If you've read the latest Arbitron statistics in news.groups, you'll see that comp.sys.atari.st and comp.sys.amiga rank near the top of the list of "most expensive newsgroups". As a result, the net.powers.that.be are apparently considering making both these groups moderated, which would NOT be a very good thing. I have Uniterm 1.6g, and am distributing it on a SS disk through the postal system for $3 US (or $4 Canadian money). The disk also contains MonST, ETERNAL RAM disk, ARC, custom formatter utility, and uudecode/encode. This disk is also being distributed by James Turner in California, Rob DeMillo in Rhode Island, and (I think) Joel Plutchak (except they may only have version 1.6e, I just got 1.6g myself and have sent it to them as of today). An announcement concerning this SnailMail distribution was made about a week ago, please consult it for details and addresses. Future disks are planned as well (Moshe Braner's utilities with source, and VIX/TVX in the near future, thanks to Moshe Braner and Bruce Wampler). So please remember that for very large programs there are alternatives to posting uuencode, which are more economical and less likely to displease the wrong people. These alternatives include BBSs, ST user groups, John Franco's STarter Kit, and of course our SnailMail distribution. ------------------------------------ UUCP: ... !seismo!mnetor!lsuc!maccs!gordan (note ..dAn or mail may bounce) BITNET: GP@TANDEM ^ <---' Gordan Palameta -- ------------------------------------ UUCP: ... !seismo!mnetor!lsuc!maccs!gordan (note ..dAn or mail may bounce) BITNET: GP@TANDEM ^ <---' Gordan Palameta

Now if someone would only remind the person who posted Uemail in 12 huge parts about things like this... -Antonio Romero
