Hello, fellow unix pc hackers! Just putting in a plug for my reap(8) utility, which I have just posted to alt.sources. It's great if you get a lot of news, but are short of space, since it expires intelligently according to your preferences and the space available. With reap, you can keep as much news as possible on line, without running out of space, and without worrying about missing out on any juicy articles in comp.sys.3b1, your favorite group! :-) I've took a full feed with a mere 71M disk for months. I just arrange for reap to be vicious with yukky groups like comp.unix.sysv386, but merciful with wonderful groups like comp.sys.3b1 and rec.games.hack. News always stays online as long as possible, given the space constraints and my perverse tastes! I didn't post it to comp.sources.3b1 because it's not specific to our machine... but perhaps that isn't a requirement. Dave, whaddya think? Anyway, just extending a personal invitation to my gang! little david -- Bottom of stack = 0x40000 Stack pointer = 0x3fffe Don't push it!
