OK, we here in Manchester have been waiting for something to appear in either of these groups - I've even posted a few odds and ends but nothing is registered. Where are all these fabulous postings - can't the moderator cope ? or is it a fault with the system at our end. If the moderator is unable to manage with the quantity of postings then I'm afraid it's back to posting to eunet.micro.acorn or comp.sys.acorn. Perhaps both these groups (sources & binaries) should be unmoderated (well self-moderated).

The lack of postings is due to two things: 1) The delay while I arranged a tool to allow me to post to the moderated groups (which I now have). 2) The delay while I waited for people's opinions to arrive regarding the method of posting. New versions of !Submit and !Extract are being prepared for posting (or will be when a bug in tar is fixed :-) ), and I hope are going to be the inaugural posting next week. As for being unable to cope with the quantity of postings .... if only! Alan

Well I for one do not care which method is in use... so long as I have the appropriate encryption/decryption utility. Spark files can be simulated by using ARC followed by UUENCODE, but already many people have access to !Spark. On the other hand if !Submit/!Extract is made available, I have no problems with using that either. In the meantime, I suspect that !Spark will be used...
