Why am I using the rutgers auto-post? Because I don't know how to forge a moderater's approval. Why don't I know how to forge approval? because I don't give a rat's ass. Why don't I give a rat's ass? 'cuz I don't consider forging approval to be a good indication of one's "hackerosity". I thought hackers were supposed to believe in "power to the programmer", not anyone who had time to waste figuring out news stuff. I mean, sure, hack news all ya' want... But man! To restrict a newsgroup to self-proclaimed "hackers" is really lame. I'm so sure. Weeding out the chaff isn't worth the stupidity of this newsgroup. -- David L.

[A bunch of whiney stuff about his views of this group]
Go bang some bits, if you can find any that will put up with you. The
restriction is there just to keep flamers like you out of the group.
ObHack: I created a group called ksu.lclpost which is a moderated group
that contains copies of all articles posted from our site. I
created it after a few people started forging articles so that
I could monitor who was posting to what. I created it by adding
a line to my sys file which told it to send a copy of any locally
originating article through a script which then changes the
headers so that the Newsgroups: line reads ksu.lclpost and the
Followup-To: line is what the Newsgroups: line was previously
then adds an Approved: line and reposts it.

Don't give the whiny guy any hints! :-) ObHack: I and a friend wrote a boot block demo on the Atari ST, that is, you only get 480 bytes of disc space. The demo moved a giant OUCH sign according to a sine wave up/down left/right, mirrored in a lake below. In addition, it was snowing down the screen, gathering on the ice into drifts. We contemplated making it auto-decompressing when run, but I couldn't get the decompactor below 102 bytes, so it would increase overall size. Regards, Kjetil T. Disclaimer: Newbie, and proud(?)

Speaking, as you do, from the viewpoint of the chaff. Obhack: nothing much lately. Fixed a file with illegal characters by adbing /dev/usr. Solved a VAX connectivity problem by writing a program that interpreted VT100 escape sequences and used whatever your termcap was set to (ripped the code out of an old PC term program I wrote). -- (peter@taronga.uucp.ferranti.com) `-_-' 'U`
