Howdy,
I too am missing some parts of starchart: specifically, the Yale Star Catalog
data files. I have all the code files but no data to work from.
I would very much like a copy of any and all games that are being
distributed by readers of this network. I am currently operating as games
manager on a system, and more public domain games are always needed.
VMS games are especially wanted, but as long as the program is not extremely
convoluted I can (and have in the past) convert them.
Finally, on the subject of appropriate newsgroups raised earlier: some of
you may not know this, but this newsgroup is redistributed to ARPA and
BitNet sites as a mailing list known as Unix-Sources. In turn, our mail to
Unix-Sources gets ported to net.sources on USENET. I, for one, do not have
ANY access to USENET other then through remailers and redistributed lists.
I suspect many others are in this position too. So, before you criticize
someone for posting to the wrong newsgroup, ask: did that person have any
choice? For many of us the only way we can post is to go to net.sources -
net.sources.d and the comp.sources group are not available.
Thanks,
John
