The recent nine part posting of MSK231EX.ARC in the PC binaries newsgroup
has a major problem.  The first clue was that the moderator indicated that
he ARCd them on his UNIX machine.  It didn't sink in until a co-worker called
this morning and told me of the problem.

What is wrong you ask?  Well, all of the text files in the archive are missing
the CR/LF sequence that DOS files need.  Try displaying them on your PC screen
and see what happens.

You will need to add CRs to all of the places that have LFs, making CR/LFs.
As it turns out, if you have the MKS Toolkit VI program, it will automatically
put out CR/LF, when you read in the text file and force out a write (:w).
Otherwise you will need to write a progran that will read in each line ending
in a LF and put out a CR/LF.

Or, you can call the NICBUL RBBS-PC BBS that I run and download the corrected
MSK231EX.ARC file.
