    From Ward Dossche@2:292/854 to Bjorn Felten on Thu Oct 9 13:52:01 2025
    I may have missed something, hence a question.

    When I check the FIDONEWS-archive on "eljaco.se" I also note files named "INPUxxyy.ZIP".

    What's the purpose of these as the regular "FNEWxxyy.ZIP" are there as well?

    Did I miss an annoucement in 2002 ?

    Fair enough.

    Those are the individual article files used to compile the "real" issue. Once offered to the many sysops who created HTML versions of the Snooze.
    They used various scripts or programs to extract the articles, so this is another free service I've provided from day one. Or rather day -1, since I also got Frank's last bunch of files.

    Still distributed in the file-echo SNOOZE.

    Did I miss an annoucement in 2002 ?

    For some reason that I don't remember, I never announced it in the e-zine, only in the echo.

    Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.
