(To Rahul Dhesi.)

Well, it is ok to test programs before posting them and nobody (I think)
does have the time to use or even take a look at all posted programs.

But when programs are posted, they should be posted completely. In the
last weeks were the parts 5-9 of PC-Write Set C and part 2 of the APL
interpreter missing. I am not very interested in this programs (I never
used APL but it would be interesting to play with it). But it is a more
general problem: If parts are missing, the programs are without ANY
value for ANY people on the net.

It is a waste of money, when missing parts are not reposted so that
people interested in the particular programs could use it. When missing
parts are not reposted, do not post any more multi-part programs.

If missing parts are not reposted in the future (there were many missing
parts NOT reposted in the past: gawk, abmake ...) comp.binaries.ibm.pc
would no longer be worth reading it.
