It would appear that the first four parts of the twelve-part PICNIX V3 posting fell into a black hole shortly after leaving this site. I have reposted parts 1-4 to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.

If you're going to post something that is shorter than what you're follow-upping to, change the > to something else, like a | or something that inews will ignore. Second... Does simtel20 have the most recent version of PICNIX? I'm sure many people can get it from there... I got the version that they had but I don't think it's the same as what was just posted (the total size was different). I think simtel20 had version 2..?? Anyway, if anyone knows if simtel20 has picnix v3, could you do us all a favor and tell us about it?

Have you ever stopped to consider how much "net bandwidth" is taken up by
the phrase "net bandwidth" ? (read it an Andy Rooney voice)
The computation is left to you, gentle reader, as an intellectual exercise.

This is a good time to remind posters in multi-part postings to be consistent in their headers and footers except part 1, hopefully the moderator will do that, and let me add that the previous idea of taking part #'s out of subhect so it's easier to 'k'ill a whole series of postings is a good idea that the moderator should in my opinion implement, keywords etc. would be a fine place.) On picnix: the doc file said in the release area that Release 2 is 11/87 and on the next line that this was modified May 1 1988; it doesn't mention release 3 but shouldn't that be it? I think there's some confusion because of this about what release 3 is. Craig

having suitably whined about the damned thing being posted in the first place, it is now sitting in the spool directory here waiting to be uudecoded and split. the actual order to be determined by some collection of experiments ... ANY WAY ... the .arc file was assembled, un-arc'd and the stuff all played with, so i know i have a good copy. so, you can come get it if you haven't received it yet, or if it is missing from your machine somehow. the directions for getting stuff are enclosed below. the .arc file is currently sitting there named '/usr/spool/uucppublic/picnix3.arc' and is HUGE so i wouldn't suggest snatching it just yet ... unless you are in dallas or have pcp and plenty of patience. as usual, floppies and a pre-paid mailer works wonders. send money for chili if you want really fast service, and some really good chili mix ;-) - john. -- [ Last modified 03-Apr-88 ] What this is ... [ ignore this part ] This posting is made in response to someones request for a source package. rpp386 is a public access SCO Xenix(tm) source archive system. A list of files is available for your to peruse. After setting up the L.sys entry for your system, you should immediately request the file ~uucp/archive (/usr/spool/uucppublic/archive). Additionally, you should request this file before any large file transfers, as file location may change, and packages may be added. Setting this up ... [ pay careful attention here ] Add the line rpp386 Any ACU 2400 12142506272 in:--in:--in: anonuucp to your L.sys file. You may have to adjust things to get this line to work. Send a break to change from 2400 to 1200 baud. Try logging in by hand if you have trouble. The login uuhelp exists for just this purpose. Requesting the transfer ... [ request rpp386!~/picnix3.arc ] The archive listing file will give the location of the files. All of the packages are storaged as 16 bit compressed sharchives, except for compress of course, stored in the subdirectory /usr/archive/. Handling large transfers ... [ and this one is HUGE !!! ] There is a VOLUME column on the listing. That gives the floppy disk which the backup of the archive is stored. If you plan on transfering more than a few 100K, you may wish to use the US MAIL. Send E-mail and we can work something out. Submitting sources ... [ don't do this just yet ... ] Please do not upload more than 10K at a time. I actually look at all the code. Large source submissions will create a serious strain on my work load. Binaries will be trashed outright. SCO does not permit me to re-distribute binaries. -- John F. Haugh II | "You see, I want a lot. Perhaps I want every River Parishes Programming | -thing.
