PE> I now have available two archives on my system.



 PE> Alan is in the process of producing the equivalent of minosqwk for DOS

pity it doesn't use the old DEC data moving program called Pip.
Then you could call it Pipsqwk.

 PE> Since both minpos2 is around 800k uncompressed, and 
 PE> minosqwk is 1200k uncompressed, you can run the things off 
 PE> a floppy disk.  So no more crap about 15 meg disk space 
 PE> blah blah bullshit.

my current Binkley setup is about 3 megs, including two nodelists,
fat old Golded, and 600k odd of messages.
 
 PE> I thought you guys were meant to be

 PE> aresholes should get off your arse and download one of

My point (off a local system) went leg up two months ago due to a

silly enough to go through that agony again, but you might have to
install a 008 free call number first  (iow, i'll think about it)
