Inevitably all programs will be posted in their entirety, I assure you. If you simply cannot wait, mail to the moderator of c.b.i.p or the administrator of simtel or chyde and tell them about the incomplete postings. On rare occassions, we have gotten corrupted postings (even then everybody went overboard announcing this) but I've never seen any missing articles which didn't eventually get posted. In summary : BE PATIENT ABOUT ARTICLES IN COMP.BINARIES.IBM.PC !!

In article <16508@smunews.UUCP> I write: >I assure you. If you simply cannot wait, mail to the >moderator of c.b.i.p Which is correct. > or the administrator of simtel or chyde and tell them >about the incomplete postings. Which is not. You should only mail to them requesting information about binaries located at their ftp sites. If you haven't been able to get the binaries from c.b.i.p due to late or missing articles, these are sometimes the best alternative. NOTE: DO NOT COMPLAIN TO THEM ABOUT ARTICLES. SUCH COMPLAINTS GO ONLY TO BILL DAVIDSON, MODERATOR OF COMP.BINARIES.IBM.PC >In summary : BE PATIENT ABOUT ARTICLES IN COMP.BINARIES.IBM.PC !! My apologies to the administrators of chyde and simtel. Please don't bug them about things beyond their control. - - - - - - - - Keith Jackson {convex, texsun}!smu!jackson == jackson@csvax.seas.smu.edu U N * X : L i v e F r e e o r D i e
