BB>     Great! Please add this to the Echo Rules, James.
No need to, it's not prohibited. The next moderator might have 
other ideas, but we've been doing the UUE thing for a long time
here. Yousuf Kahn used to post a FAQ of sorts every month, uue'd.
The echo was a lot busier then, we used to see 40-50 messages a 
day and saw many questions repeated. Work on an internet email
list has begun again and in the testing stages. This will gate
80XXX to the readily available $internet$. We may once again see 
the traffic increase to the point of needing a FAQ again someday,
if all goes well. If anyone is curious, send a blank email to
80xxx-on@circuit.com and you will be subscribed. I *am* nervous
about it. Don't ask.  ;-)
Anyway, I'd like to restrict the methods to UUE and Zip.. It's 
a matter of convenience; most people have Pkzip already and
David Kirschbaum gave us a small uudecoder that can be easily 
posted if need be.
I'd also like to limit the contents to ascii files only, and no
BBS related FILE_ID's and the like. This echo is not to be used
to transfer files. Source codes only, please.  :-)
 BB>     I have noted various answers to how long a post can
 BB> reliably be.     85 ,150, and you think 200? Well, you've
 BB> been here a long time,     so maybe you know...
I *think* 99% of the reader software can handle 200 lines before 
the message gets chopped off. Old SLMR had a limit of 150, but I 
don't see it used much anymore.
Does anyone want to comment on any of this?
