Yes. WHEN THEY THEMSELVES INSTALLED C NEWS.

UNTIL OUR FEED SITE HAPPENED TO INSTALL THE LATEST C NEWS, NOBODY TOLD ME.

Bullshit.

Solution (4) of the list I recently posted (<io49226w164w@mantis.co.uk>,
posted Mon, 20 May 91 16:03:29 BST) would cost ibmpcug no more than the modem
time for sending the error reports.

And as I said when Matthew pointed out that he didn't want to pay, if you
can't afford to send error notifications you shouldn't be so intolerant of
trivial errors.
