Lines: 14 I would like to automatically extract the UUCP maps from comp.mail.maps as they arrive each month. I understand that some software is floating around which does this. I'd like to get my hands on a current version of such a beast... Also, how does the new map distribution mechanism affect such extraction? The "Supercedes:" field in the header replaces an old article with a more current version. I don't see how that would help with updating maps, as un-sharing the updates as they come in would overwrite the old files anyway. How are we supposed to maintain the set of map files? Thanks, Andrew (..alberta!teletron!andrew)
