You want the one from netlib@research.att.com. It is much more up to date, with the last edit date of Jan 1990. The ornl.gov one has a last edit date of 1988 or so. You'll probably want to update /netlib/admin/bin/netchop with the following script, since I found the distributed one not up to snuff, ignoring stuff inserted by the mail system like >From and extra trailing blank lines. #!/bin/sh # 11 Jun 1990 # This script tries to reassemble partitioned mail. # After saving the pieces in files p01 p02 ... p09 p10 ... # execute "netchop p* >whole" to get a single file without all the # mail headers. # for i in $*; do sed -e '1,/^Starts next$/d' -e 's/^>From /From /' -e '$d' $i done -- David Paul Zimmerman dpz@dimacs.rutgers.edu Systems Programmer rutgers!dpz Rutgers Univ Center for Discrete Math and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS)
