(Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this. If it's not, my apologies.) I'm kinda new to the net. What do I have to do to get the program postings in comp.binaries.ibm.pc into an executable form in my system? I have all the IBM compression stuff (arc,zoo,zip,lharc,etc.) on my PC. What do I do to get the stuff out of the newsgroup and into a form that my utilities understand? Please e-mail responses. Thanks. -- Jim Huggins, UMichigan

Better still, is there a periodic posting describing this sort of stuff?

Under Rahul, there was a periodic posting of two New User manuals I wrote, one for using binaries in c.b.i.p and one for using FTP, along with a Starter's Kit. I had updated the files (including adding a ZIP unpacker and zoo extractor to the Starter's Kit) and sent it to Rahul some time ago, just before he had to relinquish his position of moderator. I assume it was in the backlog, and Bill Davidsen should eventually post it sometime soon when binaries start to flow. If not I'll contact him about some new copies. In the meantime, these files can be requested via automatic mail server from the following address: uuserve@bu-tyng.bu.edu And sending the following text in the body of the message: ascii send bin.man send ftp.man send starter.kit end This will transfer all 3 files via e-mail. If you don't need a particular manual, omit that line. Don't forget the 'ascii' as the first thing and the 'end' as the last thing, and they must be at the beginning of the line. ============================================================================ Brian O'Neill - Local Internet Access Account Internet: oneill@bu-pub.bu.edu UUCP : ...!bu.edu!bu-pub!oneill
