Gentlemen please don't shout. ;-)

   While I don't agree that the archive-server has nothing to do with comp.sys.amiga,
Marco has a right to to his opinions. I however, don't want to create a lot of traffic
in this newsgroup with people asking typical "new user" questions about kilowatt.
That's why in most all of my postings I always try to stress the use of email for
questions beyond the scope of the kilowatt help file. Unfortunately, if you can't 
even reach the server to get those help files, it makes it very difficult to figure
out how to use it.

   The problem can be solved in part by including help on the archive server in the
introductory comp.sys.amiga postings every month. This has been done. Hopefully this
will help solve some of these problems.

From where *you* are this works, from company xyz that doesn't have a good UUCP 
conection this may not work. One thing I have learned is that UUCP is a crap game.

Here's another address for those people who can't connect to kilowatt should try.

	archive-server@kilowatt.EBay.sun.com

This is completely untested, ie. no guarentees.

ONCE AGAIN: If you *can* connect to kilowatt, but you are having problems getting
it to do what you want, send mail to archive-management (or just manage) from 
whatever path works for you. Describe your problem as briefly as possible and I'll
get back to you when I can.
