Subject: ARC.TTP
I posted a few days ago a message about ARC.TTP but I think it was
not clear enough. I said that all bytes whose value was 0x0D were
removed and people understood that my file was bad uudecoded. I
meant actually that these bytes were removed from the file before
or while uuencoding and I think that the bug exists in the file on
the server
archive-server%panarthea@sun.com
I partly uudecoded the file by hand and got exactly the same result.

i am extremely interested in taking a look at this board. can anyone
tell me how to get in touch with Image Systems?? or is this another "CEKA"?

Atari, any comment on the above messages?
Can you catch up? When can we St owners see some real stuff
instead of vaporware? when can the ST be advertised? When? when?

Subject: Laser C bugs
Someone sent me mail about Laser C which I could not send back, so I
am posting this here for anyone else that's interested.
The code generation bugs are mainly in the inline assembler.
