To whoever organizes this:  Please add my friend Larry Bank,
<oykj@cornella.BITNET>, to the distribution list of net.micro.atari16.

Thanks!

BTW, when I learn't that on IBM mainframes you get this news as PERSONAL
MAIL, I fell over backwards.  Does that mean that for every reader on the
same machine, a separate copy is mailed?  It at least means that a separate
copy is stored, which would make the system administrators soon buy some
more disk drives...

For those of you who don't know: on (some) UNIX systems you read the news
by typing a command (e.g. "readnews").  The system knows which newsgroups
you "subscribe" to, and shows you that stuff, of which I presume there is
only one copy in there.  The "readnews" program also allows things like
"mark item as (un)read", "show list of posting with subject line", "show
a specific posting", "post followup article", etc - all invoked by pressing
ONE KEY.
