G'day Bob,

Replying to a message of Paul Edwards to Bob Lawrence on 21/05/97:

 BL>> why is it that the mail I just picked up by UUCP is later
 BL>> than the Fido mail I picked up this afternoon? And all the UUCP
 BL>> messages 

 PE> I only run Unix 8-9+ pm.  I am writing my messages at the same time as
 PE> you are sending them, and it's not until I've finished writing all my
 PE> messages that I run "send-uucp", and then reboot back to
OS/2.  Hence
 PE> you won't get my mail until 8pm the following day.  But then, you
 PE> should still get that message at 8pm the following day, which is
 PE> faster than you will get it via the fido feed.

Paul occasionally forgets about his 8-9pm appointment so it might an extra 24 hours!

 BL>> And where's AVT? All I'm getting is locsysop and locuser, addressed
 BL>> to ALL.

 PE> Well, it looks like Jeff has turned off the AVT gating until the dupe
 PE> problem is sorted out.  When you say "addressed to all", what you
 PE> really mean is "no specific address", right?  The word
"All"
 PE> shouldn't appear in the messages you get from me.

I haven't turned it off. It dupes in every echo gated, not just avtech. At
the moment I'm manually killing anything that looks like a dupe. I've now
got two weeks holiday so I'll look at setting up am automatic system.

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}matra.com.au)
