However, (ok, I admit it) in alt.fan.letterman the headers date from 6/00. THe bodies aren't there, but at least the headers are. And when you click on "Error - dfdgdfgd" to remove them ,the headers don't go away as in other groups. And it seems that the bodies are there for a longer period of time. Is it my newsgroup provider or due to various level of activity? If I posted this here before, I apologize. Is anyone archiving the important/significant posts for the emulator & FPGA projects? --- Ken The Algol compiler used at Case Institute of Technology, after finding 25 errors in the source (e.g., like you spelled BEGIN as BEGNI), would print: "At this point, we suggest you try re-reading the manual." ###### From: R.J.S.
