- Hello Dave,
-
- While very much welcoming your question, this is typically something
- that would be better asked on the news. I have forwarded this reply
- to
- comp.compression
- comp.os.msdos.programmer
- comp.archives.msdos.d
- comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted
- with followups directed this time to
- comp.compression
- since it seems to be nearest your subject.
-
- All the best, Timo
-
- P.S. I hope that you gentle users will understand that while I try
- to be of help, there is a limit to what kind of services I have time
- to provide you. If you are looking for some program or code, I
- would very much prefer that you ask publicly on the news after
- emplying the standard FTP archives search methods Keith Petersen and
- I ofter present for example in comp.archives.msdos.d.
-
- Please do not get this wrong. I still very much welcome all your
- email. But for practical reasons I have to draw your attention to
- this aspect. Else I am totally swamped.
