HELP!!!!! I'm new at using the net and I think I need some help. Some time ago I put out a message asking for help on a Commodore-64 problem. I recieved several replies so I thought I understood how the net operates. When I read my mail today, I found what looks like quite a few failed messages sent to me. I've included one of these later. It looks like other people are trying to respond to my questions but their messages are'nt making it through. Is this true??? If so - why not?? Could I have done something wrong when I sent the original?? Could some parameters on my machine be set wrong? In the meantime, would anyone who sent me a reply please try sending it via other means (U.S. mail, teleph) or retry the net in a few days.

It has an option on the load command to take a machine code module but there is no docum. (even in the prog. ref.) about the format that is required. I have an assembler that was apparently written for the 64 but it doesn't produce a useable output. I would like to write a back end for it that will reformat the load mod. thanx Ken Korona pyuxcc!kxn P.S. Anyone interested is trading software for the 64?????

From: Gail Zacharias <GZ@mit-mc.arpa> First of all, these are not messages that failed to get to you (think about it!), these are people that YOUR message failed to get to. Normally, one should forward the failure report to INFO-MICRO-REQUEST@BRL so the list can be fixed (*not* to all of INFO-MICRO -- 99.99% of people on info-micro can't do a darn thing about it either, and the ones who can are on INFO-MICRO-REQUEST) People should realize that re-sending the message itself to INFO-MICRO is totally useless. Most people already got the message and will be getting duplicates (YOU don't like it when you get them, do you...) Those you did not reach the first time most likely cannot be reached still, you will only get the failure reports again. If you are really really concerned about reaching absolutely everybody, you can re-send the message just to the people it failed to the first time. Note that the failure reports include the names of the people who didn't get it: Date: 11 February 1983 06:13 EST From: Communications Satellite <ucbvax!COMSAT@MIT-MC> Subject: Msg of Saturday, 5 February 1983 04:43 EST To: harpo!eagle!mhuxt!mhuxa!mhuxh!mhuxm!pyuxjj!pyuxcc!kxn FAILED: SATZ at WHARTON-10; Host appears to be permanently down or not accepting mail.
