The following text is extracted from Part One of the posting:
-- [start of text] --------------------------------------------------
This series of twelve postings comprises the PiCnix V3 package of
UNIX-like utilities for the IBM PC and other generic DOS systems.
The PiCnix package is distributed under the user-supported concept
(shareware) and a donation of only $15 is requested by the author
(not me). Full source code is also available from the author for
a very nominal fee. The release package consists of six EXE files,
twenty-four COM files, one included ARC file, one MSG file, and
one DOC file.
I am not posting all twelve parts at once so as not to constipate
the net. I will post four parts each day over a three day period.
The first eleven parts of this posting consist of 800 uuencoded
lines. Part 12 consists of 493 uuencoded lines. Part 1 also
contains a 'begin' line, and Part 12 also contains an 'end' line.
After all parts are trimmed and concatenated together, they will
comprise one uuencoded file consisting of 9,295 lines ((800 * 11)
+ 493 + 1 + 1). Once processed by uudecode, the following ARC
file should be created.

This ARC file was created with ARC521 and should be compatible with
any reasonable version of ARC, ARCE, or (if you insist) PKXARC. (If
you have a copy of Richard Marks' UUDECODE v2.13, you can download
these twelve parts to your PC as picnix[1-12].uue and simply enter
'uudecode picnix1'. His program will then extract the ARC file in
one pass without any trimming or manual concatenation required.)
If a few parts of this posting are missing at your site, or were
damaged in transit, PLEASE check with your regional Usenet neighbors
to see if, perhaps, they have the parts you need. If they do not,
notify me and I will send them to you by email. Barring receipt
of huge sums of money, however, I will NOT consider reposting the
entire set.
People who do need the entire posting can send me a prepaid, pre-
addressed diskette mailer with either one formatted 1.2-Mb diskette
or two formatted 360-Kb diskettes. The diskettes should be empty
and not contain any operating system files. (See signature for my
mailing address.)
-- [end of text] ----------------------------------------------------
The first set of four parts will be posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc
early Friday morning (5/6), with the next two following during the
early hours of Saturday and Sunday (5/7 and 5/8).
This newest version of the PiCnix collection is not currently
available from any public or private BBS, so you'll see it here
first!

Wait! How am I supposed to get this 420K ARC on my 360K floppy?
Can you break it into two arc's? This is a pc group, not an at-only group!

However, floppy-only-without-arc-on-their-host PC's are at least in the minority on USENET. But that's why I always make 360-Kb diskettes available to anyone who cares enough to send them to me for copying. "We apologize for the inconvenience."

Please consider reposting parts 1-5. Although I did get pt. 5 here,
several others have said they didn't get 1-5, so there may well have
been a fairly general propagation problem.andytoy@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (Andy Toy [DCS]) (05/10/88)

Parts 1 to 4 never arrived here so unless they got stuck somewhere
temporarily, I would suggest a repost of parts 1 to 4. This site
is connected to a backbone site so I would suspect that they didn't
get there either.

parts 1 thru 4 didn't arrive here either. the rest did. Sounds like a
propagation problem to me. A repost of 1 thru 4 would be appreciated.
