The version of rzsz that was posted to comp.sources.atari.st is (according to the submitter) a greatly modified version of the software. The original author did not want to make the hacked-up version an "official" release, but gave his permission to distribute the program as a companion to the Atari zmdm program. Apparently the program was posted to comp.sources.atari.st once before (before I became moderator) so there is some precedent. I agree that in most cases, UNIX programs should be bounced to the appropriate group, and I will do so. I thought that this case was an exception. >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >UUCP: ...mcvax!cernvax!forty2!poole Simon Poole >BITNET: K538915@CZHRZU1A >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Steven Grimm Moderator, comp.{sources,binaries}.atari.st koreth@ssyx.ucsc.edu ...!ucbvax!ucscc!ssyx!koreth
