Ok. I've looked thru all the faq's I can find. I've wandered thru help files at ftp sites, and posts everywhere I can see them. Time to step up and ask. Is there a site or sites ANYWHERE that archive cbip posting? Not the completed and collected .ZOO files, but the actual issues themselves? I see SOOO many people asking "please send me parts 3, 12, and 13 of 36 of xxx" and really wonder if there's a site that ftp (or BITftp) can get them from. Of course, I ask for selfish reasons -- there's a few parts sitting in my archive directory looking for their brothers and sisters, and I really don't want to pull down (to use an actual case) dj1bin.zoo from somewhere when I'm only missing 4 parts out of 32. I _was_ going to send Bill email, but after wandering thru SOOO many of the same type of requests, I thought it would be of interest, and appropriate. Replies in Email if you please, so I can easily summarize them for the net (as far as I can tell, I _always_ get my email :-) ) !-----------------------------------------------------------------------------! !
