Hi Carol!
Answering your message posted on Fri, 15 Aug 1997 16:09:50 GMT +0000
> < More feedback later.
I have looked through Acornet020.spk (MDTM=19970823235955) and it looks
good. It is now aware of two numbers (COLT and Energise 0845 numbers) to
dial Demon Internet (which saves time looking them up) following comment
by myself in a reply to Michael Cowgil written on Wednesday, August 20th.

I know you are going to hate me (probably) for doing this, but here goes.

Footnotes :-)
~~~~~~~~~
[1] would be deleted immediately after 1st expiry so what's the point?
[2] these are only backup files created by Newsbase - they are not read
[3] these appear to be left over from earlier development versions
[4] directory hierarchy automatically created by !FreeSMTP when run
[5] not required, IMHO, as these are for older versions of Newsbase
[6] refers to InetDB plus a near copy of this is now provided for ArcWeb
[7] FreeTerm 1.32 as shipped did not look for its configuration here
[8] for Adam's resolver - Stewart's does not keep any cache file on disc
[9] contents of this file deserve an FAQ by now
[10] ANT and Termite transports are unlikely to be useful for Acornet users
[11] Estimated download time 46 minutes, using a 14K4 bps modem
[12] Saving of 3.9%, reducing time to download by only a minute or two :-(
PS. Forgot to update Dynamite -- it gets everywhere -- supplied in !Groups.
PPS. Please do *not* take this personally. I appreciate that collating
together the latest available programs and other bits and pieces that
go to make up Acornet is a mammouth project. SparkFS was not exactly
swift at deleting the files for me, so it must have taken ages to
compress the whole lot, even just using the Spark Compress-12 method.
