- Fellow gamers,
- Your humble moderator screwed up when batching up the recent umoria3
- posting - as many of you have reported. The major problem was that I
- didn't realize that Mac .hqx files often (always?) don't have trailing
- newlines, thus confusing the shar program. Also, while trying to hand
- fit some of the large files into files for posting, the directory
- info was lost and several files got lost.
- Here is what you need to do:
- 1) edit Part06, Part09, Part24, Part26, Part28 and Part30.
- Wherever the string "END_OF_FILE" appears at the end of
- a file, but not at the begining of a line, insert a newline.
- Add 1 to the word count in the next line (optional - if you
- don't do this, ignore the warning about being unpacked with
- the wrong count).
- This occurs with all of the .hqx files and "files/origcmds.hlp".
-
- 2) the files: misc2.c, moria1.c, moria2.c and spells.c got
- unpacked in the top level directory. mv them to the "source"
- directory.
-
- 3) grab Part32/31 (to be posted to c.s.g. shortly). It has the
- missing files, along with a uuencoded copy of "mac/scrnmgr/ScrnMgr.doc"
- (it had many long lines that got munged by mailers) and an
- updated MANIFEST.
-
- Sorry for the problems and hassles. Next time I promise I'll be more
- careful :-).

- P.S. The shar files in the archives on 'saab' and 'uunet.uu.net' have
- been corrected.
-
- P.P.S. Many people have mentioned not receiving the last half of the
- distribution. The files were posted on two different days. If you still
- are missing the second half, try and get a copy from one of the archive
- sites. If you are unable to do this, send me mail.
