By the way, could other sites, especially those in the Path: line
above, check this out and see whether they have a mangled version?  The
mangled version is quoted above (Karl didn't quote it, I took the
liberty of adding it for those who missed my original posting).

Well, here are the relevant pieces of a stat on the file in
/u2/spool/news/net/lang/c [the news spool directory for net.lang.c]:

To give you an idea how long it took to get here, you can either notice
that the dates on the article are

Date: 7 Jul 86 18:37:02 GMT
Posted: Mon Jul  7 14:37:02 1986

or you can figure that I am posting this reply about ten minutes after
reading your reply, so figure from when you posted....

Yiiii!  I just noticed this means we have TWO WEEKS delay getting news
from the real world to us!  On the other hand, the turnaround was only
a week or so from my posting to my reading your reply.  I'm confused.
