Dividing it into subdirectories would speed many of my readnews sessions. IF ONLY POSTERS WOULD ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES. Software fixes would help, among them: 1) don't let anything be posted and don't pass it on unless the text is in shar format. If people want the code badly enough they can port the unshar utility to their system, it's not hard. 2) add the field 'Followup-to: net.sources.d' in net.sources posting. -- - Ralph W.
