1499.0. "Masterweave?" by COOKIE::WITHERS (I heard the news today, oh boy...) Fri Jun 24 1988 12:56

    Has anybody on our E-Net gotten a complete copy of Masterweave from
    comp.sources/binaries.amiga.  I seem to get these truncated files
    and my wife would really appreciate the ability to play with this
    program...
    
    Thanks,
    BobW

1499.1Nobody on the VMS side of Enet has itNAC::PLOUFFBeautiful downtown LittletonFri Jun 24 1988 13:3920
    Brian Reid of DEC Western Research Laboratory tracked down the problem
    at my request.  In the transition from Usenet news to mail inside DEC,
    the articles go through a mailer on some Ultrix machine (DECWRL:: ?).
    That mailer thinks that a line containing only a single period marks
    the end of a message, and truncates it there.  This "feature" complies
    with ARPAnet RFC822, a network mail standard, and many mailers
    elsewhere on Usenet have it.
    
    Well, in his introduction the moderator had the same text in _every_
    part of the Masterweave posting, and it had a period overflowed onto a
    line by itself.  Zot! -- nobody on the VMS part of the net has any
    intact postings. 
    
    (I have asked the moderators at Purdue to watch out for this.)
    
    Sorry, this doesn't get the files for you, but thought you might
    want to know why they all got clobbered.  Anybody on the Enet get
    comp.sources/binaries.amiga directly from Usenet?

    Yes I have them.  The catch is I have no place to put them.  If
    someone will give them a home, I'll be happy to upload.

    or in general, (for anyone - within reason) until this little rd54
    fills up, there's always a home for ami software here at MVCAD3
