Another submitter has decided to pull a submission after I've spent the
time reviewing it... Is it something I said or what? Every time I spend
a hour doing a review so I can post something, I get a note telling me
not to.
: Hi, Bill.
:
: Sorry about this - could you please remove REM23-00.ZIP from the queue?
:
: I'm working on REMIND some more and the number of releases is getting
: ridiculous. I'll continue to upload the newer versions to Simtel and
: Garbo, but I'll hold off from cbip until a "final" version appears.
:
: Once again, please remove REM23-00.ZIP from the queue.

: Thanks.

You know the kinds of messages you get about a posted version and then a message shows up about a more current version being available on SIMTEL. I remember a few messages about that. On the subject of posts, is it possible to have the date of submission on the message somewhere? It might reduce some of the "when will mine come out?" messages (I don't know how many you get so this may be moot). It would also tell us that ours didn't get out (for whatever reason). Then I can see that the most current posts are based in the middle of Feb and I can ask about mine without the above message. On that subject, is there anyplace that I can check to see whether a submission was posted but I may have missed it? Like wuarchive or uunet? I guess I'm looking for a site where the archives are kept. Keep up the good work and thanks. Carl Schelin tcs@mailer.jhuapl.edu

You know the kinds The problem is that it takes as long to review a program which doesn't get posted, and that means big delays in the flow of programs. If I kept more reviewed programs ready I could avoid that, but at the cost of more delay. I'm mainly trying to keep down the flood of "is this group dead" messages which come out if I miss a day. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
