Alas if only I did have some access to Arpa-Net, but the machine here is
only connected to Usenet, and I haven't got a clue in the world how to
get to Arpa from here. My understanding is that Usenet-Arpanet
interconnections are even more of a black art than trying to get mail
out with a less than intelligent mail program. If someone knows of a
good book (gasp! documentation on usenet?? :-) on what exactly this
Arpa-inter-bit-usenet mess is, and how to get there from here, I sure
would appreciate a recommendation! I've been on the net about 1.5 years
now, and I'm still in the dark on some things (like this mystical
"anonymous ftp", is it available to mere mortals on Usenet?), but it's
been a fun ride.

On the subject of VT100 2.7: I did get the recent Fish disk that had the
bug fixes, but the binary on the disk still had the stray-character-in-
the-requester bug. However, VT100 2.6jrbii.2 that was posted to comp.
binaries.amiga last week ought to keep me happy until VT100 2.8 is
released.

Well while I'm typing, I ought to say thanks for all the goodies to
everyone that contributes to comp.*.amiga, especially all the Commodore-
Amiga folk. The amount of support for the Amiga I've seen here is amazing.
