I manage a few "small" machines and I had always assumed that you weren't interested in us. If you want to include machines with one or two news readers then I will install arbitron on them. But, why not post it to comp.sources.unix, send it to the "uucp" archives at simtel, and ask Rick Adams and Henry Spencer to include it in their news software distributions. Then *JUST POST POINTERS TO THE PROGRAMS* If you post a copy monthly to a discussion group, how will I know if it is another copy of the one I have, or if it is a NEW version? Remember, I will probably give this *ONE* try - if it works, fine, but if it doesn't, it goes on my "to do - not important" pile, at the bottom. If I need to look at it every month to make sure I have the latest version, I can't/won't have the time. Here I go, adding another thing to my "to do" list... -John -- Email to unix-at-request@uwspan with questions about the newsgroup unix-at, otherwise mail to unix-at@uwspan with a Subject containing one of: 386 286 Bug Source Merge or "Send Buglist" (Bangpath: rutgers!uwvax!uwspan!unix-at & rutgers!uwvax!uwspan!unix-at-request)
