Subject:"zip" version of bham teach extensions and new posting facilities 
From:Aaron Sloman See text for reply address

[To reply replace "Aaron.Sloman.XX" with "A.Sloman"]

Having watched a PC user struggling to install our local AI teaching
files I have now produced a .zip version.

The previous version still exists as bhamteach.tar.gz. The new
version is bhamteach.zip

Both are now included in here

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/freepoplog.html

or can be fetched directly as
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/bhamteach.tar.gz
or
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/bhamteach.zip

(This includes the pattern prefix "!" which enables pop-11 pattern
variables to be used with lvars.)


I also previously posted a note saying that the "gn" (Get News)
package had been extended with an improved facility for posting
news in Ved (ENTER gn p) which no longer depends on "inews" being
available as Pop-11 can now talk directly to the news server
using a socket.

This extension seems to be robust and has now been included in

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/vedgn.tar.gz

Along with updated documentation. This supersedes ENTER postnews
as a posting facility, though it is still available as

    ENTER postnews new

to prepare a header for a news file before posting. However
this has been changed to insert a "From:" line, which is now
compulsory, at least on our news server.
