On a suggestion from Rich McAllister (rfm@sun.com), I am posting yet another "call for votes", in case anyone out there has killed the original "zoo'ed IBM-PC binaries?" discussion and doesn't know that a vote is going on. Would you like to see binaries in comp.binaries.ibm.pc appear in zoo format? If Rahul gets a 2 to 1 outcome in favor of zoo, the switch will be made to zoo and he promises the following copyright modification: /* Written 8:26 am Feb 24, 1989 by dhesi@bsu-cs.UUCP in sts:comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d */ In article <17652@genrad.UUCP> jpn@teddy.UUCP (John P.

I'm beginning to agree. Let's you (the Usenet user) and me make a deal. If you will vote at least 2 to 1 in favor of using zoo rather than arc for comp.binaries.ibm.pc, I will drop all distribution restrictions on all versions of zoo, with the minor exceptions that (a) nothing incompatible be created from my code and (b) source be made available for any binaries distributed unless I agree otherwise. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!dhesi ARPA: bsu-cs!dhesi@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu /* End of text from sts:comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d */ Please send your votes to sts!roy (roy@sts.com is an erroneous address.)

The first is returned from the US as "address unknown". The second cannot even get away from this site! If you want mailed votes from Europe something better is required.
