Hi,
after posting the sources of TASS I just got one mail not to post sources.
But was flooded with Mails from all over the world:
Please post ......
So I will post WNEWS 3.0, starting Sunday, the 28th of April. I just
have to verify that expire works, I never tested it. So be patient.
WNEWS 3.0 is 120 k compressed and will be posted in 4 * 30 kb splitted
files, 2 on Sunday, 2 on Monday.
60 k the day is enough, I'm just thinking about the guy that posted the
same day whole nethack to comp.sys.acorn.
Thanks for all the friendly mails
Joachim

I don't know if we really need a new newsgroup for just posting a source code since comp.os.coherent is too new to split. BTW, if someone know how to create alternative newsgroup like alt.coherent.sources, please do.. I know there're many sites does not carry alt.* newsgroup, but we've no more option. > > Joachim p/s Joachim, if you can post the diff, I'm really appreciate it since diff file is small I guess (since you said that there're no problem on porting WNEWS except for batch or unbatch only). -- *-------------------------*----------------------------------------* | Mohd H Misnan | INET: hmisnan@madvax.uop.edu | | Univ. of The Pacific | hamid@uop.edu | | Stockton, CA 95204 | an605@po.cwru.edu | | U.S.A | UUCP: uunet!uop!mhm!hamid | *-------------------------*----------------------------------------*

Sources *AND* binaries are important. I have access to a FTP site, but not durring the summer. I don't know that I'd want to receive a lot of sources at that time, so I guess I'm pretty much on both sides of the debate. If sources are going to be posted, create a new group, and do it *NOW* because the longer we wait, the longer this issue will cause grief. >p/s Joachim, if you can post the diff, I'm really appreciate it since >diff file is small I guess (since you said that there're no problem on >porting WNEWS except for batch or unbatch only). Diffs are nice, after the original source is posted. Most people won't have the source, so the diff is a real waste of net traffic. Just imagine how many mail requests someone gets when they proclaim ``I have this program running'' and you'll see the need for new newsgroups. --Michael --
