To word it differently, why are the directory copies of these trickle servers for Simtel20 in the Bitnet world usually about a week behind the announcements for new uploads to Simtel in this news group? So, this is a question, the answer to yours is probably to wait and retry the next day... Only, with programs updating as fast as those two mentioned, why not try to retrieve SCANRS51.ARC ..52 ..53 (Remeber those announcements: 80286 .. 386 .. 486 .. 586 .. 686 .. ?) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...mcvax!cernvax!forty2!eichi Stefan Eichenberger BITNET: K807817@CZHRZU1A University of Zurich ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
