Has anyone had any luck getting the AIXServ package? I sent mail to the server address and to Jerome Park and have gotten no response. -- odin@bu-it.bu.edu Ben Page "Real men can fit their .signatures all on one line"

I'm not sure what address you tried. In the README file I got with the aixserv script, it says to contact them at services%aixserv@uunet.UU.NET

Thanks to everyone who responded, especially Michael Weinert. It turns out that the automated response mechanism at aixbugs@ease.austin.ibm.com was unable to respond to me because I'm on the internet. I used the UUCP gateway address aixbugs%aixserv@uunet.UU.NET and received the package in short order. Reports from those who have used the package indicate that it works. -- odin@bu-it.bu.edu Ben Page "Real men can fit their .signatures all on one line"

You can submit problems, check status, send in testcases (of limited size), and generally do everything (within limits) that you do when you call the 800 number...... Only electronically. Hmmm... I seem to remember people asking for this. Maybe IBM is really listening? -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |The views expressed herein, are the sole responsibility of the typist at hand| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |UUCP: pensoft!robin | |USNail: 701 Canyon Bend Dr. | | Pflugerville, TX 78660 | | Home: (512)251-6889 Work: (512)343-1111 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Two problems with AIXServ 1) After you run the shell script check that all of the lines ending in >> FORMAT are intact, and that one line didn't wrap around and put a T on a line by itself. 2) If you try to include an ASCII file with examples the script fails complaining about an incorrect test. Both have these have been reported (using AIXServ)
