JK> Sad news today, Folks..  Michael Bauer is taking his bbs

 JK> filegate.zxx this weekend.

hummm... the only Bauer i can find is christian bauer in Z2...

 JK> Michael says he's sorry, but his work load has gotten very
 JK> heavy, and then his net had some kind of trouble over there..
 JK> :(

 JK> :(

 JK> I do release whatever shareware games in the WIN_GAME file
 JK> echo that authors send me, but nothing like number of files or
 JK> the types of files that Michael was able to collect :( :(
 JK> We'll miss his work a great deal. Perhaps someone will be able

hummm... one thing i'd like to see is greater use of the REPLACES verb so
that i don't have umpteen jillion copies and old versions of the same
programs laying around... if someone's running a FDN, they should do what
they can to ensure that the areas they maintain are not cluttered with old
and duplicate stuff...

i really should get on the stick and get things updated to use the filegate
stuff instead of the old defunct filedist or whatever it was stuff that my
system is still configured for...

does filegate also carry the original SDN stuff? where can i get an info
packet via the internet?
