Has anyone gotten a "working" version of Buzzings4 from cs.orst.edu?? I've downloaded the file several times, and both of them have problems. The WriteNow file kills WriteNow when I try to load it up, and the Postscript file has some malformed postscript on the first two pages. Did I just get unlucky with my file transfer, or are others having this problem as well? Erik

sorry if people are getting this more than once... I was wondering if I was just having extremele bad luck with my file transfers, or whether other people are having problems with getting a "working" version of Buzzings4 off of orst. The WriteNow file kills WriteNow when I try to load it up, and the Postscript file has malformed postscript on the first two pages. Anyone else having this happen to them? Erik

I noticed the problem with the Buzzings4.wn.tar.Z yesterday, sent a note to Erica, and she reuploaded it to both cs.orst.edu and j.cc.purdue.edu. She did not reupload Buzzings4.ps.Z, I suppose since no one had yet reported a problem with it. As of about 9:20 a.m. PST on Saturday, cs.orst.edu still has the bad copy of Buzzings4.wn.tar.Z in pub/next/buzzings, but the good copy can be found as Buzz4.wn.tar.Z in pub/next/submissions. Eventually, the one in submissions will be moved to buzzings. On j.cc.purdue.edu, both good and bad copies (Buzz4.wn.tar.Z is the good one) can be found in pub, and eventually one of them (hopefully the good one) will be moved to pub/next/BuzzNUG. Just by the way, this is quite an issue with several very good and very extensive programming examples. It's some 50 odd pages long, so I read mine on the screen instead of killing a few more trees.
