I apologize to the moderators, especially to Pat White, who took the time to listen to the criticism behind the flame. Pat said (by mail) that except where directory structure needs to be preserved, the moderators are now posting only shar files containing straight source and uuencoded binary files. Excellent! Now, if the purdue-decwrl connection would only stop truncating articles (sigh)... -- Wes Plouff, Digital Equipment Corp, Littleton, Mass. plouff%nac.dec@decwrl.dec.com Amigas in Fiction! -- see _Analog_ Magazine, July 1988, p. 146.
