They were indifferent to our pleas. I wouldn't say that the people from Berkeley were indifferent to the requests. Nothing from the group working on BSD is posted on net.sources or any other newsgroup. All network newsgroups have too wide of a distribution. Many sights do not have the proper licensing for the information already being distributed. Berkeley is also not a software production environment. We do not have the facilities to continually distribute bug fixes or maintainence releases on a regular basis. Changes that are considered important enough are made and will be distributed through a proper release, if and when one happens. Jim Bloom bloom@ucb-arpa.arpa ucbvax!bloom
