Sun 20-Dec-92: Our most prolific local supporter Aki Saari got us
the new Telix files from a Finnish BBS.  Thank you Aki.  They come
with DeltaComm _AV labels and should be the latest versions.  There
are two versions in circulation because DeltaComm released an update
only four days after the original release without indicating the
fact in any way in the version number :-(.  We wouldn't have noticed
this dilemma but for Keith alerting us about it.  Thanks Keith.

It seems to work.  This very connection I am using now is with this
new version.  Nevertheless, I am retaining the 3.15 version files in
/pc/goldies for the time being just in case of any further problems.

 A1: A summary for experienced users:
 - Quality software solicited.
 - Use .zip (1.10 not 1.93A).
 - Use version numbers in file names if possible.
 - If yours, include documentation, or make self-documenting.
 - FTP to /pc/incoming (MsDos files).
 - Notify _*BOTH*_ ts@uwasa.fi and hv@uwasa.fi using a Carbon copy.
 - Your message will be used as such for announcing on the news.
 - Your message's right margin no further than at column 72.
 - Don't use tabs.
 - Ensure to use a descriptive subject header in your email to us.
 - English only (goes both for the programs and your announcement).
 - Emphasis on MsDos utilities, not all subject categories carried.
 - If not yours, check that it is distributable, ie PD or shareware.
 - Please be patient. Our queue can be long. Weeks at worst.
 - Please also see /pc/UPTEXT.INF for your announcement outline.

Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1992 20:26:30 GMT

Thu 26-Nov-92: I have updated my TDEL.EXE "Timo's safe recursive
delete". Besides being able to delete files, this program includes
the option of removing directories recursively. The new version does
the removing from bottom up, which makes using the utility very
convenient. Of course you'll first have to make the directories
empty by deleting the files from them, if any, but that is easy by
first applying TDEL recursively on the files. A small practice set
for ramdisk is included, because even with safe deleting and
removing one has to know exactly what one is doing!
   The old method of removing from top to bottom has been preserved
for compatibility.  It has a special switch /f (force Forward).
   TDEL.EXE is a part of the consequently updated fifth utility
collection from me garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsutle20.zip.

   A have included a new program CUTW.EXE "Extract or delete text by

delimiters, option to start from the end of the line, optional
suppression of empty lines, and multiple ranges.
   Added FILE_ID.DIZ "Brief characterization of TSFLTC". Some BBS

its contents as the description in their annotated file list.

I suggest a workaround if you wish to have enough memory availabe
when you shell out.  There is a "third party" swapper to disk for
that purpose.  I am using it quite a lot with several programs to my

Another problems seems to be the implementation of the BBS with hostplus.slc.
It hangs very often, so I had to reboot the computer every time. Sometimes,
even leaving host mode directly after starting it don't work.

ASCII versus BINARY does not matter for ftp.  I just ftp'ed /unix using ascii
and binary, and then did a cksum and sum.  The files were identical.  The
ascii transfer just took longer.  I don't know if this is specifc to AIX,
but I doubt it.

Does anyone know where I can find WinBench 2.5?  Thanks.

Sorry Keith,
I appreciate the attemp, but my query was for a shell for 'ROGETS THESAURUS'.

I knew about the files in MSDOS.TXTUTL but they aren't quite what I want.
If I can't find a shell then I'll probably write one after Xmas, but if one
already exists, then I don't see the point.

While I'm on the subject of shells, does anyone know about one for the 
CIA factbook.  I have reformated the text, and am using the Jargon viewer
at the moment, but it could do with a proper shell.  Any ideas?
Dave
