G'Day All:
For those who did not receive part 1 of conquest (did anyboday get it ??)
"conquest.zip" is available for anonymous ftp from "chyde.uwasa.fi"
in pc/games
(has been there since september and I have received no complaints :-)
It is also available from the uwasa mirrors, for example:
"sol.deakin.oz.au" in pub/PC/chyde/games
(there should be a uwasa mirror in the US or Canada ?)
I can not simply send you part 1 because Bill Davidsen (the
c.b.i.p moderator) repacked the programs! Bill may (re)send part 1
at some time in the future :-)

We have not received more than one copy of part 1 of conquest. However, we did get *two* copies of part two a few weeks(?) back among with one copy of part three. But we didn't get part 1 then. -- Internet: einari@rhi.hi.is | "Just give me my command line and drag UUCP: ..!mcsun!isgate!rhi!einari | the GUIs to the waste basket!!!!"

Bill, I'm inquiring because I'm ignorant, not to express any dissatisfaction. Your service is a wonderful boon. It would seem like posting it again would be about three times as much work as posting the article that triggers my questions. How would doing so interfere with getting caught up? Do you ration the c.b.i.p load on the network and posting x means there is no room to post y? Do you file things away in an archive after they are posted and it is a nuisance to go back and find one? Do you keep records of your activities that become onerous to maintain when you are reposting something? I have been watching what becomes visible from your work and that of some other moderators and trying to understand the job of moderating a news group. Your remark quoted above makes me suspect that a quarter of what I thought I knew ain't so. dan herrick herrickd@iccgcc.decnet.ab.com
