- Uwe Doering authored and posted it. I appreciate it -- I guess
- irresponsibility (and crap) is in the eyes of the beholder. I also
- pay for my news and Uwe's work is worth far more to me than most of
- the articles I see.
-
- Many, many of us running V.[3,4] on 386 & 486 machines use his async
- drivers. I would guess that cross-posting the source in
- comp.unix.sysv386 ends up being only slightly more expensive than
- paying for all of the "I missed FAS2.10, could someone post it or send
- me a copy" messages. We'll have to wait and see whether the followup
- traffic to your posting costs us even more.

- Jerry> What is the ruling regarding posting large files like this?
-
- Who are you asking? Who do you think is in a position to do anything?
-
- BTW, why do you get postings from Germany via uunet?
