I just received a few files over BITNET from Europe, all ASCII text files (c code to be specific). The following characters were munged -> Left square bracket to lower case c Right square bracket to exclamation mark Exclamation mark to vertical bar Vertical bar to \347 octal. Heaven help your uuencoded files. If you see any of this happen, let your postmaster know. It is important to try and track these munger-*uckers down! -- Mike Clarkson, ...!allegra \ BITNET: mike@YUYETTI or CRESS, York University, ...!decvax \ SYMALG@YUSOL 4700 Keele Street, ...!ihnp4 > !utzoo!yetti!mike North York, Ontario, ...!linus / CANADA M3J 1P3. ...!watmath / Phone: +1 (416) 736-2100 x 7767 "...the most inevitable business communications system on the planet." - ROLM magazine advertisement which planet?
