How good is the connectivity for unix-pc.sources? I didn't get the latest sources here, and being a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy, I have two different feeds for unix-pc.* I can only assume that a large portion of the unix-pc net did not get these either. Would the sites which make up the unix-pc "backbone" (if such a thing exists) please check to make sure they are not excluding the sources group? The volume is quite low, but is an important source of software for an otherwise abandoned machine (3b1). Individual "leaf" nodes can exclude the groups if their disk space and modem bandwidth don't allow it, but the traffic should make it as far as the archive sites. I have software I would consider posting, and I would recommend that others do the same, but not if the distribution is so poor. If you do post something, make sure that the distribution is set to "world" or left blank. Some sites do not handle limited distributions correctly. Could some one send me email, telling me where I can pick up these latest postings? I would like to see a the headers from one of these postings, maybe I can find out where the distribution broke down. And what else have I missed lately? Mark -- Mark H.
