I don't know about the other requests, but I think this guy is at least
letting you know that there is a more current version. You know the kinds
of messages you get about a posted version and then a message
shows up about a more current version being available on SIMTEL. I
remember a few messages about that.

On the subject of posts, is it possible to have the date of submission
on the message somewhere? It might reduce some of the "when will
mine come out?" messages (I don't know how many you get so this may
be moot).

It would also tell us that ours didn't get out (for whatever reason). Then
I can see that the most current posts are based in the middle of Feb and
I can ask about mine without the above message.

On that subject, is there anyplace that I can check to see whether a 
submission was posted but I may have missed it? Like wuarchive 
or uunet? I guess I'm looking for a site where the archives are kept.

Keep up the good work and thanks.
