[comp.windows.x] mangled stuff in comp.sources.x

rusty@belch.Berkeley.EDU (Rusty Wright) (02/18/91)

Is anybody else getting mangled stuff in comp.sources.x besides me?
For example, part 2 of the dbiff posting is missing stuff at the end,
except that the signature stuff is there at the end.  It's as if
something took a bite out of the posting.  Also part 1 of dbiff
doesn't unshar happily without some editing.  I find it hard to
believe that the moderator of comp.sources.x is simply posting stuff
without at least unshar-ing them to make sure that they're complete
and not mangled, so I guess something somewhere along the way is
mangling them.

  I saved two parts of xboard one week ago, but Part 01/03 hasn't appeared yet...

I must apologise for my shar file for xdrop (recently posted). I forgot
to delete the executable before running shar. It causes an error
message when unsharing, but otherwise things seem OK.

Is this the sort of mangling you meant?

PS sorry for the late reply, we are *days* behind with our news.
