Yes, folks, we do need to take care when sending stuff to SCREEN-L that is rilly rilly long--anything over, say, 150 lines (picking a number arbitrarily, but that would be about six screens worth of stuff on my computer). Most of us have limited space on our colleges' mainframes/VAX's and an overloaded mailbox can jam things up. In fact, the listserver itself (the software which enables this whole process) cannot handle files above a certain length. I haven't quite disentangled it all, but I think at least one of the TWIN PEAKS files was stopped at the listserver and was not distributed. So, in the future, why don't we just make a gentleman/woman's agreement not to post material longer than 150 lines. >Didn't Jeremy arrange a FTP (or something) to make such files available to >them's as wants 'em? Yes, indeedy! And you don't even have to know or be able to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol). SCREEN-L's FILELIST holds text files which may be retrieved through normal mail channels, using a simple set of commands. When I have a free moment I'll put some of that TWIN PEAKS material on SCREEN-L FILELIST, and send an announcement out about its availability.
