[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] The test posting to CBIP

P85025@BARILVM.BITNET (Doron Shikmoni) (02/15/90)

Recently there has been a test posting to comp.binaries.ibm.pc
that contained some test uuencoded-zoo'ed file, with a request
to respond if there are any problems. Well, I had problems
uudecoding it (which I didn't have with Rahul's postings) and
tried to respond. However, my attempts to reply bounced -
"User unknown". Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I contacted Bill Davidsen about it -- he said that it was a combination
of the alias not being installed yet, and an extra s at the end.  Sometime
next week it will be installed, and it will be ibmbin-request@crdgw1.ge.com
