Lines: 16 I sometimes wonder how many sites actually take the map updates posted in this newsgroup and actually go through the effort to patch them into the map distribution. In any case it would seem that the present system doesn't satisfy these needs. What is really needed is automated software for taking these individual postings and merging them into the pathalias database. People should agree on a format and newsgroup name (comp.mail.maps.hurry :-) for these updates. Once that is done we could then modify the map unpacking software and pathalias to handle this now manual task. Much more productive than flaming each other I would think. dan -- A.I. - is a three toed sloth! | ...!uunet!mnetor!maccs!dan -- Official scrabble players dictionary -- | dan@mcmaster.BITNET
