If they didn't arrive at bitnet someone repost them for bitnet only. I can't do that without sending them to usenet as well. ]I wasn't able to uudecode the files (I have no idea what Franz was doing It's "Frans". I'm not German, so no "z" please. ]with those things). Once I figure that out, I'll decode them into their .Z ]counterparts (so if names change on you, that's why). I ran uuencode on them. Actually I always use uud and uue. These are the same programs as come with minix. The versions I use on the SUN (on which I prepared the postings) are: Almost foolproof uudecode v3.4 (unix) 25-Nov-88 Almost foolproof uuencode v3.1 06 Aug 1987 Glen, if you don't have these, and want a copy, just let me know. I tried to uudecode a part without a problem. The CRC's for my postings are after removing the news header and .signature etc: (the file where you run CRC on should start with the word "table", and should have the word "end" or "include" on the last line.) 57881 24525 CRC 30066 28860 Intro 28090 14535 Makefile.uaa 60623 10308 Makefiles.Z 61827 28350 bawk.Z 06849 39786 bawk.uaa 36859 4430 commands.Z 63175 6305 commands.uaa 56587 102713 elle-ast.Z 51227 62799 elle-ast.uaa 16839 62804 elle-ast.uab 28150 18536 elle-ast.uac 26647 137074 elvis.Z 42142 64368 elvis.uaa 60401 64373 elvis.uab 45973 63491 elvis.uac 23378 3008 etc.Z 06280 4308 etc.uaa 23423 6845 include.Z 42442 9686 include.uaa 36380 9144 kernel.Z 26904 12902 kernel.uaa 40976 10294 missing1 19921 23535 tools.Z 30432 33046 tools.uaa You'll need to glue the .uaa, .uab and .uac files together if you use another uudecode. It seems that at least some people have been able to uudecode the stuff correctly. If someone discovers what is wrong, let me know and I'll try to avoid the problem next time...
