Subject: Notes on the LISTSERV file server.
Two blunders have been found and corrected for the file server in
Bitnet-land:
(1) Under certain ill-defined conditions the return address was
accidentally forced to all upper-case. Some requestors (mostly
in UUCP-land) would receive no replies.
(2) A recent update to the CP/M file directory mis-tagged a few
ASCII files as binary and some binary files as ASCII. (The
problem only effected the CPM.* directories.) Requests for such
mis-tagged files were answered with garbage. I have corrected
the directory, and flushed all of the misfetched files from
the cache (at least I think I got them all). If you received
a garbage file, please retry the request AND let me know, too,
so I can make sure the cache is clean.
