Subject: Suggestion..
Since the current policy is going in the direction of LBRs might I suggest that
you LBR the ZCPR3 files... Right now there are so many that it would take
massive typing to down load. Or people are going to do what I am about to do
which is to whip out an old SNOBOL program to turn directory listings into
submit files and down load them one at a time..
Another interesting idea I had not too long ago dealt with the problem of HEX
files. You could create a special mail box where people could send requests
for converting COM files to HEX files. A program could read the mail and auto-
matically do the conversions. Of course the problem with this idea is that
like all ideas it would take somebody to do it. I would volunteer but I
am not going to be working at UT much longer (Friday is my last "real" day)
so I guess this one can go in the bit bucket.
I not sure of my near future status but I would like to let you guys know
I appreciate all the work you have put into the maintenance of info-cpm &
MICRO:. BTW, don't kill my subscription yet, I will let you know when
my UT account is going to die.
