After reading Derek S. Nickel's post on his Internals document I immediatly ftp's to the HPBBS. However I did not find it. There is no user.programs directory (actually there are no subdirectories in /pub) and consequently no note 184. Undaunted I then tried telnet. I successfully logged in as a new user (I'm an ftp vet but a telnet neophyte) and again failed to find note 184. I found *lots* of other posts, but not the one I was looking for. Okay, I give...What did I miss? Secret handshake? Gotta be a Free Mason? What? Help! Thanks, Rick Wagoner rwagoner@sun.com

Rick, After logging into the HPBBS (via "akcs") you should: (General) Main: join user.programs . . . (User.programs) Main: read 184 . . . You would then "attach" and "download" These step are not the easiest thing for a new user to handle, but are really quite simple. I belive several people have already reposted my stuff to c.s.h. as well as other ftp sites. Derek S. Nickel
