Ample Notice 2.03 has just been posted to c.b.i.p. I've already got 2.01 (from Simtel20); can anyone tell me what the differences are in 2.03? I'd also like to make this a general request: when any program is posted to c.b.i.p. more than once, could an extract of the revision history be posted with it? It's a fair bit of trouble to download and install a new version of something, and if it's just to support some new hardware that I don't have, or to fix a bug that doesn't bug me, I probably won't bother.

You will note that programs which come to me with the history get posted with it. If you think I'm going to do a feature by feature compare to write an article, forget it. Besides, since I got seriously flamed for trying to post a bug fix version of vuimg and then found that the most recent version had been sent to simtel20 but not here, I think I'm going to stop posting updates. -- 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

What I should have said was: When sending a program to the c.b.i.p. moderator for posting, could an extract of the revision history please be included in the description? This should apply whether the posting is a repeat or not; if it has a history, I might have gotten an earlier version from a different source. Duncan Murdoch dmurdoch@watstat.waterloo.edu
