[comp.binaries.ibm.pc] Missing binaries segments

steve@dad.UUCP (Steve Cook) (05/05/88)

  I've got a question for the net.  In the last month or so it
  seems like at least half the binaries posted to the net
  are missing segments.  For example:

   Nethack   :  we recieved parts 3,4 of 7
   PSPICE    :  recieved parts 5,7 of 14
   PC-Hyper  :  recieved part 1-3 of 5
   SED.pc    :  recieved part 1 of 2
   tsrnew    :  recieved part 1 of 2

  My question is:  have these been posted sucessfully elsewhere??
  Or has everyone else been missing parts too?  Or do we just have
  a bad connection someplace?   

  I'd like to get the rest of pc_hyper, sed.pc, and tsrnew by the
  way??

Acually, you have received more then we have!  I haven't seen an actual
binary posting in comp.binaries.ibm.pc for weeks!  I spoke with our Sys Admin
and he said that apparently the news feed up stream is dropping the information
somewhere along the way.  We do get an occasional discussion posting (like
this one), but thats it.

We never received the DOS VI clone posted a few weeks back nor anything since.
In fact, if someone could send me a note saying they have a copy of the DOS VI
that I could get from them I'd highly appreciate it.

Hopefully, this problem will get resolved.  I'm also sorry to post this to
the comp.binaries.ibm.pc news group, but theres no comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d 
group established yet at this site.
