Mac tech notes are not posted to the net. They are put in the directory at Sumex-Aim, where they are available to anyone who wants them without clogging the nets up with a substantial amount of needless text. I am receiving them, even though I don't want them; this is therefore unwanted traffic on the nets and unwanted junk in my mail file and disk space allotment here. But if I don't want to receive them, I'd have to leave the Info-Apple mailing list. Are the people who voted to send the tech notes out on the nets to everyone actually developers? Or is it just curiosity that'll fade after a week or two? Is their interest so urgent that they can't take the time to FTP them from a directory? Bob -------
