It seems to me that this may ba analagous to the protocol needed between a remote site and the "new repository" for requesting missing articles. I realize that there are substantial differences, I am merely wondering out-loud (?) if the common parts of both protocols (SEND-ME article 133 in net.wizbang) should be the same. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!milo!eric
