The problem seems to be 'where?' I'm very new to the Usenet stuff, but I understand the problem arises with the maximum bandwith of the network(?) So is there any system that is propared to run as a server for these files and just mail them to people when they ask for them? I remember reading about a system run by Newcastle Uni? If this is the right kind of system why not mail you file to them and then leave a message describing the file an telling us what it's called on the Newcastle machine. This would cut back on the bandwidth quite a bit and should keep Mathew happy. B-) Also could one of you net-wizard chaps explain to me what all these 3 letter abrevs mean eg. CFV.... Sorry for my ignorance, but I HAD to ask! Yours..... Jason. (I left my .sig file in my other system!!!)
