Thanks for uploading those files... the *-fyters thing was interesting, I'd
always wondered what that really was about. I agree, a big problem they had
was that it was full o' younger teenagers who didn't really do much but u/d
stuff all over the place like you said. And as such, they were pretty much
spit upon by the rest of the telecom scene as wannabes. It was a unique idea
though, from the guy who started it.
Glad you enjoy the cDc stuff and the AE. It's not much but at least it's an AE
(or something close, anyhow...)
Yeah, I can start putting the new releases out as ShrinkIt archives too.
That's a good idea, i just didn't know there was demand for it unless somebody
says something, so thanks.o thanks.
Oh yeah, the t-file primer file... i especially liked the points about trying
to keep files intact and non-edited and encouraging people to date their files.
Most of the files i run across now are being dated which is good. 'cause the
systems will continue to be upgraded and technology marches on, blah blah...
but t-files can conceivably float around forever 'cause data is data. Same old
40 column upper case file written in '81 on an Apple II+ that ends up on
somebody's '586 'puter in 1995, ya know. So it's important to date things so
readers can have an understanding of the context it was written in.
