(To Rahul Dhesi.) Well, it is ok to test programs before posting them and nobody (I think) does have the time to use or even take a look at all posted programs. But when programs are posted, they should be posted completely. In the last weeks were the parts 5-9 of PC-Write Set C and part 2 of the APL interpreter missing. I am not very interested in this programs (I never used APL but it would be interesting to play with it). But it is a more general problem: If parts are missing, the programs are without ANY value for ANY people on the net. It is a waste of money, when missing parts are not reposted so that people interested in the particular programs could use it. When missing parts are not reposted, do not post any more multi-part programs. If missing parts are not reposted in the future (there were many missing parts NOT reposted in the past: gawk, abmake ...) comp.binaries.ibm.pc would no longer be worth reading it.

I disagree about reposting. I have never had a problem with receiving every part of a multipart program here. Most of the times when I see a flood of messages about missing such-and-such a part, i have already received those parts, albeit a little out of numerical order, but if you've been subscribed to c.b.i.p. for a while, you will realize that things do not always go out or come in in numerical order. This happens with mail as well. Just between two of the machines that we have here at our site, I've seen many times when two messages were sent from one to the other about an hour apart, the second message can be received up to two hours before the first one. I am always appalled at the number of repost requests that come out immediately following a small batch of parts. Like a request for parts 3 and 4 if parts one and two come one day without 3 and 4. I think that before asking for people to repost or to send them these parts they should wait a couple of days and make sure that something didn't just get stuck somewhere along the way. It is not as though they will die without the program right now, and if it saves net resources, yet still gets everything to everyone, then it is good for everyone involved. Have patience people, things don't always happen the way you want them to and that's even when you're paying for it, so when you're not, live and go with it. I think Rahul's doing a great job. I know that I barely have enough time to review for my own use or for the school's lab, the programs that I get weekly, so I have no idea how he's doing it. Whatever it is he does, I want him to keep it up. -Alex

From article <3441@jarthur.Claremont.EDU>, by ahaley@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (Alexander Haley): > > I disagree about reposting. I have never had a problem with > receiving every part of a multipart program here..... Mr. Haley has about 2 dozen lines of generalization here, but I didn't see him say he actually received the rest of pcwrite part C. It hasn't been a couple of days, it's been over two weeks. Nobody during that time has posted anything to say he got it. Is Mr. Haley the rare person who actually received it? If so, could he email it to someone who is willing to email it to others, etc.? M.

This may be true for the US, but on this side of the Atlantic we
regularly miss large sections of postings. It is not just that they are
delayed, they often NEVER arrive
Maybe there should be a eunet distributed group to carry reposts
of the missing parts?
-I think Rahul's doing a great job.
I agree with this! Keep it up Rahul!

I just checked and it is true that we did not get any of pcwrite part C. My posting was not a followup to only the latest articles asking for reposts, it was in response to the letter written by the gentleman who wanted Rahuls to start reposting immediately after it was found that some sights hadn't received all of the parts of the latest post (at least this is what I remeber of it). I was complaining that I see about 10 requests for parts 5-8 of xxx, the same day that we receive parts 1-4 of the same. These are clearly uncalled for, if in a few dasy, it does not show up, then ask for someone to mail to you saying that they have it and then choose the closest and ask them to mail it to you, or if there seem to be many (after a week or so) that did not receive that part them possibly rahul can repost. I have also noticed this to happen when a couple of parts get hung up somewhere and end up coming after a few parts from a different program. I've been subscribed to c.b.i.p for about a year now, and it has not been at all unusual to receive parts 1-3 and 5-6 of X and then parts 1-2 of Y and THEN part 4 of X and then the rest of Y. That is why I'm asking for people to be patient. The posting that I responded to was general and it struck me such that I wanted to respond in a general way. If part C has not come yet and it's been over a week since it had supposedly been posted, then requests for it are legititamate. I would feel this way even if we had received part C and I would be happy to mail to someone saying that I have if I did. -Alex ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ahaley@hmcvax.claremont.edu | Anyone know of a way to go to school ahaley@jarthur.claremont.edu | without having to do a lot of work or or Alex Haley, Fido 1:205/106 | pay a lot of money? :-) during breaks ONLY --^^^^^ | It would make it a bit more enjoyable! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

While in principle I agree with Alex that re-postings should be kept to a minimum, after three weeks waiting for the rest of PC_Write (parts 6 to 9) I think reposting would be acceptable especially since none of the European sites and some American sites don't seem to have received it. If one is fortunate to have alternative methods of getting the posting fine, if not you are dependent on re-postings. If someone at a site doesn't receive a posting and obtains the information via an alternative method, do they always pass that information down stream? Probably not?

What's happening with c.b.i.p.? Since the (incomplete) postings of PC-Write and (can't remember) we (in Holland) didn't get anything.
