I have gotten through sucessfully (grin). I haven't even received a request or
mail message from you Scott. Try going through rutgers if your path can lead
through there. Try sending it to rutgers!corpane!disk!specter (if you can make
it to rutgers, it will get here- i have to use that pathway when requesting from
UXV-Server) Also, it may be important to set your path with the path command.
You probably know this, but it is especially important since I now attempt to 
extract your path from the "from " line at the beginning of the mail message. I
replaced the Return-Path: with this, but I will be putting Return-Path: back in,
in addition to having the from and path commands. So the order of precedence is
something like... 1) from (set by the mail program)  2) Return-Path: (also set
by the mailer-sometimes) 3) path command. The 1st seems to help ALOT when people
without return-path Do Not set their path- it takes the long drawn out path at
the start of all mail messages (But this can be an incorrect path alot of the
time because of forwarding and such) Also, if anyone else has any path
problems, try to send mail, then if I do not reply soon, post your grievance
here and I will attempt to check your message's return path and reply with a
path that may work for you. (Note the use of may..) The sids that were uploaded
to an ftp site were also sent to the Disk Mail server and I just recently got
them all put in (Our system truncates filenames and many of the filesnames were
too long) And finally if someone does get the "Unix" program for 128, submit a
copy to the server.
