I notice many people apologize about posting Spark2ed files on the net here...

Richard, would there be any chance then, of your posting !Sparkplug2.4 or
whichever is the most recent here? That would surely increase distribution,
at least around the community of Usenet, and might help some people who can't
download the stuff... You could use the original Spark or *Arc to compress it,
and the standard UNIX/Arc uuencoder...

Or have you posted it previously?

First of all, I think it is wisest if NO-ONE posts any more binaries until
we have comp.binaries.acorn set up, which shouldn't take too long ... this
will also ensure that there will be a deluge of stuff when we do get it :-)

Secondly, posting !SparkPlug would make a lot of sense, maybe as a frequent
posting.

Thirdly, I have checked with David Pilling and Spark2 archives are
compatible with Spark1 archives IF you don't use the compress option. Crunch
and Squash options are best for compatibility.

I am aware that there is a new version of !Sparkplug that does dearc the
new sparked files (ie 16 bit compression etc) and it works very nicely,
unfortnuatly I do not have a copy of it here at uni. I suggest you write to
David Pilling & ask him for a copy

Ok I got the wrong guy... I don't have !SparkPlug2.4 or whatever, myself...
I just saw it on a BBS somewhere. I'll check again tonight to see if I can
find it, and see what it says. I know about !Spark not being pd... Pity
really.
