After several large postings many netters seemed to have missed the same part of each of several postings: nethack part 4, omega support files part 1, space flight simulator part 5. The large number of netters that missed these leads me to believe that there is a problem somewhere in the system. Could you Rahul, or anyone else knowledgeable enough check this out? In the meantime, could these particular missing pieces be reposted? I realize that we don't always want to repost every item that was missed by somebody. However, these in particular seemed to have been missed by many. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <standard/disclaimer.h> | LIFE IS NOT A MALFUNCTION! - Number 5 ____ ___ _ _ __ ____ ____ _ _ ___ __ __ ___ / / /--/ |/ / / / / //// /--/ /-< /< '--, ~~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ Pony Express: | Electric Avenue: ============= | ================ David J.

Funny, I have just sent mail to the administrator of our server about this very thing. Maby Rahul can shead more light on it. Here what I sent. Because I was on vacation, I had to save a large number of postings from comp.binaries.ibm.pc in the last few days. Of the things that I saved, four were reposts. They are; v04i017, v04i024, v04i030, and v04i042. There are also two files missing. They are: v04i048 and v04i060. The moderator posts at specific times according to the "Date:" field in the header of the postings. It usually starts at 00:00 and then continues every 2 hours until it's done. After I had saved all of the files on my home system, I used the "Date" field to "touch" each of the files. That is when I noticed that ALL of the reposts and the two missing files should have a "Date" field of "08:00:00 GMT" I spoke with Doug Price and he suggested that I send mail to you. So... could you please look into this? Is it possible that other groups are effected? Clancy Malloy att!ihlpf!cem
