comparc@twwells.uucp (comp.archives) (11/10/88)
In order to prevent comp.archives from becoming a clone of comp.sources.wanted, I am going to have to limit the kinds of looking-for requests that get posted here. As far as I am concerned, the only looking-for messages that I am willing to accept are of the form: I am looking for X. Would someone please post an archive site where they can be found? If I receive any other kind of looking-for message, I will summarize it and post it myself. Also, I will not post cross-posted messages (though I will summarize them and post). There are too many pitfalls involved with this and I don't want the hassle. Not to mention my response time: you might well wait two weeks for any posting at all if I were to post cross-posted messages: when you cross-post to a moderated group, it gets mailed to the moderator and he would be the one to post it to the other groups. Anyway, ccc1@cseg.uucp (Chris C. Corke) posted a couple of requests; is anyone willing to post some information on which archives might have what he (she?) is looking for? : Subject: looking for Names Server : Message-ID: <1109@cseg.uucp> : : I am looking for a Names Server that will run under Unix System V. I have : seen Bind for BSD, but nothing for System V. : : Thanks. : : Subject: looking for UUCP over TCP-IP : Message-ID: <1110@cseg.uucp> : : I am looking for a program that will support UUCP over Ethernet. I am running : an HP 9000 835 (system V) machine. : : Thanks --- Bill {uunet|novavax}!proxftl!twwells!bill send comp.archives postings to twwells!comp-archives send comp.archives related mail to twwells!comp-archives-request

Please don't reply only via e-mail. I am accepting these postings so
that everyone can find out where to find things. So, if you want
people to reply via e-mail only, make it clear that you will
summarize the responses you get.
Thanks.

I knew it was going to happen. I have been editing the From: lines so
that they contain domain names, but I knew that sooner or later, the
From: line would be wrong. Well, in this case, it was originally:
From: Luis Soltero <proxftl!uunet!rice.edu!luis>
I was going to change it into:
From: luis@rice.edu (Luis Soltero)
till I noticed his real address was luis@titan.rice.edu.
Isn't there a better way? (Is there a proper newsgroup for this kind
of problem? Or a mailing list?)
