Since it takes so long for the ftp process to list out the contents of /ding-list/ I just used ncftp in recursive mode. Quite a project and didn't turn out like I thought it would. The most recent messages were dated in May 97 I wanted more recent but not as recent as the 'recent-ding archive which shows to be starting in March of 98. Where are the messages inbetween the most recent on /old-ding and the oldest on /recent-ding/ Checking the archives at ftp.hpc.uh.edu using ange-ftp after waiting for the /ding-list/ dir to list out I see the most recent listed as being : -rw-r--r-x 1 tibbs staff 1887 Sep 23 1996 9997 -rw-r--r-x 1 tibbs staff 1617 Sep 23 1996 9998 -rw-r--r-x 1 tibbs staff 1203 Sep 23 1996 9999 >>From 1996, however the actual download has messages a year newer in it. Am I misinterpreting the way dating is done on the files. Or do you have to look at the actual messages to get the right date or what? Looking at a few on /recent-ding the message dates match the file dates. But on the /ding-list the dates shown as file dates on the most recent (last) messages (shown above) are not the same as message dates that get downloaded. The downloaded directory has lots of messages from 97. I want messages from about Sept 97 to Feb/Mar 98. How can I tell where they are on the ftp site? -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
