Any problems with this? No difference. It also isn't archived here, primarily because there's no consistant format to the articles. It takes a moderator to ensure that there aren't name conflicts and to tack on the right headers... Then there's the group that complains that they don't get the alt groups, etc. This morning I had lots of mail from my archiver software telling me about all the new stuff that arrived in comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga, so I think things are now better... ...tad
