[comp.mail.elm] Elm 2.1 still not received in comp.sources.*

jos@idca.tds.PHILIPS.nl (Jos Vos) (10/17/88)

In Europe we didn't receive Elm 2.1 until now.
Does anyone know where Elm 2.1 is queued at this moment?
Is it really posted?

Yes it was posted, and NO I don't know where it is in the queue.
comp.sources.unix was quiet from Sep 15 until Oct 15, but Rich
did ack receiving Elm.  I would expect it should be soon, but
I cannot say for sure.

I suggest that someone with a public access uucp site ftp it from (I 
forget where it is) and make it available.  I got my copy via ftp and 
it's fairly nice (although I find it hard to believe that it was 
released with portability bugs that lint makes obvious).

Does ANYONE know 
	1) when elm 2.1 will be posted
		or
	2) a uucp accessible site where it may be copied from?

Apologies to anyone who grabbed it, including the person who told me that
their copy was corrupted.  I tried to unpack my copy, and it was munged.

I'm interested in finding a copy of this via FTP, anybody have one?

Here's the poop I got from the Elm Guy:

To retrive files from dsinc via anon. uucp use the following L.sys entry

dsinc Any2300-0600 ACU Any 1-215-938-0470 ogin:-^M-ogin:-^M-ogin: anonuucp

Note, no baud rate switch characters needed, the modems will follow the
carrier type automatically for baud rates from 300 thru 19200.  All
lines support TB+ modems.  TB+ users, set S50=255 as we set S92=1.
Also note that the ^M sequence above needs to be replaced with a return
(control M), I changed it to ^M here for readability.  If your uucp
supports \r for control M, then use that, else use a text editor and
change the two character sequence ^M to a control M.

Logins other than between 2300 and 0600 ET will be not be accepted.

All files are in the directory /usr/spool/uucpanon.  The ~ will expand
to that directory.

After all I have seen about this subject, there seem to be many people,
that haven't got a copy of Elm 2.1 yet. I think, we in Europe didn't
get it at all. Wouldn't it be reasonable to repost it, so that everybody
gets the released version. Or, if it won't be reposted to comp.sources.unix,
perhaps somebody here in Europe, who has the whole distributed version
and the patches, can repost it to eunet.sources, when enough people think,
that this is more reasonable.

I second the motion, please (re) post the Elm 2.1 sources, I've been

After advertising a copy of Elm 2.1 that turned out to be corrupted, I ended
up promising about five people (including Jordan in Europe who promised some
ten other people) to get a "good" copy.  Someone suggested that I get it from
hawk.ulowell.edu.  Hawk has yet to answer an ftp command, and I have tried
every other day for the last ten days.

Does anyone _else_ have a copy of Elm 2.1 that I can FTP for my archives and
for all the people I've (directly and undirectly) promised it to?

Send mail, don't post, I'll summarize if needed.

Try swan.ulowell.edu (129.63.1.1). It is directly on the Internet.
Hawk.ulowell.edu was down for over a week due to power supply problems. It's
up now, but it would be safer to check swan first. I'll check with the
operator about which version is where, and repost here when I find out.

     I keep seeing these cries for Elm 2.1 and I am also waiting for it to be
posted.  If there is some hold-up in the pipe can someone post where, what,
why, and when.  Maybe then the crying will die down a bit.  Comp.sources.unix
has been real quiet for a while, can someone check the moderator's pulse?  I
know he's probable busy and he's got a thankless job but at least a status
update would be nice.

 I know a lot of people may be annoyed, but how about posting the
sources (unofficially) in this group?

I'll third the motion. I've been waiting that long too and I'll bet
there are many others too.


I'm getting damned tired of hearing about bugs in 2.1 before I even
get it!    It seems like only those "in the know" have the darned
thing.

Can the rest of us "plain old sites" get it now please.

As Elm coordinator, I did post the sources to comp.sources.unix and
received an ack back from Rich that he recieved them.  That was in
mid September, 1988.  I do not know the queue status
of comp.sources.unix nor do I know the policies of its moderator.
Remember in September and October the sources newsgroup was quiet
so I do not know the backlog.  Has anyone asked Rich.  I have not
as of yet, because, at first I understood that it took 30 days to
get through rich's queue, it is now only about 60 days, and of that time
over half, Rich was not around and therefore not posting anything.

However, I do not recommend that we all go pester Rich, I am sure that
also would only slow down the posting you are all waiting for.  What
I am doing is waiting for the internet virus queues to die down (after
all Rich is on the internet from me) and the I will post him a simple
query as to the position in the queue.)

>I'm getting damned tired of hearing about bugs in 2.1 before I even

I'm getting damned tired :-) of hearing people complaining about the
status of a free distribution. I, Rich, and all the people who work
on Elm also have jobs.  As the Elm list can agree, I disappear for a
week at a time or so regularly and then do some Elm work again.  I have
kept quiet as the 'me too's started piling up in this group, but enough.
If you really want it, spend the $$ and uucp it from an archive site.
As was posted before there are several that have Elm 2.1 available,
a couple of FTP sites and a couple of UUCP sites, including ours.

Somehow all those 'in the know' got it, and even counting the Elm
development group, they all got it via polling someone, either
someone that polled dsinc, or polling dsinc directly.

I am glad that everyone like Elm, but, some patience please, afterall
USENET was a volunteer service, last time I looked.

I agree completely.  I keep thinking that if I wait *just a little longer*,
it will show up in the source group.

I would like to respectfully request that the current person in charge of
the source check with the comp.source.? group administrator and get a firm
distribution date.  If that can't be done, then I suggest that the source be
posted to this group so that all interested parties can receive a copy.

BTW, I was off the net for a brief period, and during that time the official
administrator of the ELM source appears to have changed.  Could the person
or persons now in charge please post a brief summary of the current state
of administration and development efforts.

Thanks.

I looked at what version was around. The original 2.1 beta test version was
placed on swan.ulowell.edu for the test group to get via FTP. This is NOT
the distribution version awaited in comp.sources.unix.

 I believe I posted the information here before, but with so many comments
I will list the information one more time (just incase I didn't :-)..

 For those who want to get a copy of the Elm-2.1 release, and are willing
to foot the bill of the phone call (since it has been a NO-SHOW item in 
under comp.sources.unix), it is AVALIBLE for download from my BBS in Maryland.
The system is running XBBS and supports Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, Kermit, and
several other protocols. The source for Elm-2.1 is located in the UNIX 
directory of the BBS, and anyone can download it (no validation required!).
Here are some of the vitals on the BBS:
