Subject: ZSM23: LIB.L corrupt? (etc.)

Humm. From what I believe, there's copies of ZSM.LBR (or ZSM23.LBR) drifting
around that are corrupt. If you want the most up to date version, it can
be requested from the rna server here on pallio. Send mail containing this
line:

/send zsm to your.address.here

where you fill in your address as shown. Note that I can't guarantee
Internet addresses, so yourt best bet is to use an address of the form:

hoptoad!host.domain!user

where the first site is a Bay Area UUCP <--> Internet gateway. hoptoad,
decwrl, ucbvax and pacbell are a few possibilities. I will make sure that
the LIB.L in this file is the most up to date available, so there should
not be any problems. Also, I'll make sure LIB.DOC is not corrupt.

Paul Martin adds:
> This probably came from me. I got it from SIMTEL20.

I wish you hadn't said that. If the version on SIMTEL20 is shot we're
in real trouble. Hey Mike Freeman - are you listening? Can you:

A: grab the latest ZSM from pallio!rna (or from GEnie - I'll re-upload
   in the next couple of days)
B: submit it to SIMTEL20 under the name ZSM23.LBR
C: see if you can delete the file that's currently on SIMTEL20

And Thorbjoern Ravn Andersen says:

Aha - this is the message I was missing (kudos to Dan Becker for forwarding
these posts on to me)

Anyway, it does sound like the patch area is not correct. Thorbjoern,
can you mail me both the ZMP patch and the QTERM patch that you're trying.
with both of those, I may be able to create something that will work for
you.
