The lack of postings is due to two things: 1) The delay while I arranged a tool to allow me to post to the moderated groups (which I now have). 2) The delay while I waited for people's opinions to arrive regarding the method of posting. New versions of !Submit and !Extract are being prepared for posting (or will be when a bug in tar is fixed :-) ), and I hope are going to be the inaugural posting next week. As for being unable to cope with the quantity of postings .... if only! Alan
