I sympathize; but in case you think this is something special about Aston, it isn't! Aston is part of JANET, and JANET -> some outside sites transfers go via a meatgrinder called EARN. Any UK site will have this problem. The Aston archive is such a wonderful idea, and so much time and trouble has obviously gone into it, it's really a pity they haven't sorted out this problem. you should see the number of internal moans that go to EARN people! i will say in our defence that it works fine inside JANET. just call us Mrs Thatcher sebastian rahtz, pp aston -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
