As a consequence, I would like to see postings accompanied (or preceeded) by an announcement in this news group with the details. Then, I could easily track down copies of those items which interest me. Such a scheme would also allow people to read the .d discussions about programs and know what the program *does*. It would also ensure that single part postings are not going to the great bit bucket in the sky. Please, Rahul? Pretty please?

On a trial basis, I will soon be posting a "Current postings in comp.binaries.ibm.pc" digest at intervals to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d and comp.sys.ibm.pc. Feedback will decide whether this continues on a regular basis. -- Rahul Dhesi <dhesi@bsu-cs.bsu.edu> UUCP: ...!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!dhesi
