I think the repost "service" is GREAT!  I have looked for such a program but
had little luck or time to find one.  Now that I have it I can proceed with
new plans for the network here!

If bandwidth is such a problem, why not have a field that simply states
Archive-name: file.shar
Request-route: deamon@site
Request-name: site/file/name/here

and build a script program to parse the message through and request the file
on a need to know basis.

Unlike most of the "blessed" system, we lack ftp to internet. Strickly a UUCP
and News site.

KEEP POSTING - ITS ABOUT TIME!
