However, I have noticed from looking at the headers of my own articles that the distribution line was not present. That is why I included the "warning" at the top of my article. I usually use a distribution of "na" for most of my articles, but I guess they have all been sent netwide. The problem is probably the archaic version of netnews that !hou2a uses (B 2.10 5/3/83). [Are any Holmdel system administrators reading this?] Fred mentioned that I could add a distribution line when I edit my file. Can anyone instruct me as to exactly how this is worded and placed [only one response per state please! :-)]. I apologize for any inconvenience the article may have caused. -- Paul Kemp ihnp4!hou2a!pjk The above statements are those of the author only, and are not those of AT&T Bell Laboratories.
