Please, for the sake of all who read c.b.i.p.d for valuable information,
stop posting these requests.  Inevitably all programs will be posted in
their entirety, I assure you.  If you simply cannot wait, mail to the
moderator of c.b.i.p or the administrator of simtel or chyde and tell them
about the incomplete postings.  On rare occassions, we have gotten
corrupted postings (even then everybody went overboard announcing this) but
I've never seen any missing articles which didn't eventually get posted.

In summary :   BE PATIENT ABOUT ARTICLES IN COMP.BINARIES.IBM.PC !!

Thank you.
