what's the difference between NASA: Weather and EA: Weather?
was the NASA one dropped in favor of the other one?


i'm thinking about redoing my whole files areas setup... i think i'm going to split each FDN into a separate group of areas instead of having all FDN areas in one huge group... there's almost 300 areas available in 38 or so FDNs...

BTW: in filegate.zxx, the FDN line for the legion FDN is missing the ":"... here's the unsorted grep list below... the first one is in the "key codes used in this list" and the last one is from the "list of participating file distribution networks" toward the end of the file...

$ egrep -e "^% FDN" filegate.zxx

% FDN:          File Distribution Network name.

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.
