I wish I knew why people find the current bug tracker acceptable. It reminds me of the old ftpmail/DEC gatekeeper where you sent e-mails requesting files: from ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/dec-alpha/dec-docs.txt "Instructions for using ftpmail to copy files: 1. Address the mail message to ftpmail@gatekeeper.dec.com. 2. Ignore the subject line. 3. Include in the first line of the body the word "connect". 4. Include get commands for each document required. (for example: get /pub/DEC/DECinfo/infosheet/decnsr-v2p0.ps) 5. The body of a typical request might look like: connect get /pub/DEC/DECinfo/SPD/index get /pub/DEC/DECinfo/infosheet/decnsr-v2p0.ps get /pub/DEC/DECinfo/brochure/unix-from-digital.txt Note that results will be mailed to you later in the day as requests are queued up and processed every 30 minutes. For more timely access, consider using anonymous ftp." That was cool in 1992, yeah... and it certainly builds character. Ted
