Posting-number: Volume 01, Info 00 Submitted-by: Alan Glover <aglover@acorn.co.uk> Archive-name: intro ** This is a reposting of the bootstrap articles - please discard the earlier ones (which have now been cancelled) and use these instead. Welcome to comp.binaries.acorn! The tool that will be used for taking postings from c.b.a and extracting the original data is !Extract. The following five postings should be used to provide you with a working copy of !Extract, and it's working directory !SubExtWrk. If you want to submit material to c.b.a, you can either use !Spark, or !Submit (which can be found in a later posting). If you have a UN*X box, all you need to do to extract the original data is uudecode the articles which go to make up a contribution, then decompress it then finally extract the files using tar. If all this sounds like hard work, a script has been prepared and this will be posted on comp.sources.acorn. My thanks to everyone for waiting patiently, and especially to Fil, John Bowler and Frank Lancaster for help in getting things started. Alan
