We at netlib@lakesys.UUCP are very happy to see that we are fufilling a need
on the net for an ST file server. Traffic is growing daily and the complaints 
of not being reachable are diminishing.

We have two requests of those who utilize netlib:

	1) Please restrict yourself to no more than 5 file parts per request
	   per day.  Some have been requesting 20 or 30 file parts and it 
	   slows down the response time for others. It also strains our 
	   limited resources here. We have the capability to limit the number 
	   of file parts sent to any account per day with our software, but 
	   we'd prefer to rely upon your integrity. If there is no cooperation 
	   in this matter, then we will be forced to implement the limit in the
	   netlib software. 

	2) Please be sure that you are using the correct syntax for file
	   requests. If the file is in a volume, e.g. volume1. The volume #
	   MUST be specified as part of the pathname for the file part in your 
	   request. Also be sure to put "from archives.atari" at the end of
	   every file part in your request, otherwise the line is not parsed 
	   correctly and your request subsequently fails.

Thank you to all those who have been contributing to our archives, you have
helped to make the netlib file server one of the best.

We appreciate your cooperation.
