I can usually get through one out of five times, but NAPPSRC.SRC is 1MB+ and the connection usually breaks around 700K or 800K. Now there's a waste of bandwidth... Dropping the connection after 70% complete. Two things might alleviate my current distress: A kind sole who would put NAPPSRC.SRC and/or ABSTRACT.SRC on their (non-simtel) ftp site and mail me its address. -or- A compressed (zoo, zip, or tar.Z) version of the files at simtel which would require a shorter transfer time and have a (hopefully) higher probability of success. Two people have requested summaries of pretty printer comments. I have received none. However, I have found napp.zip (msdos binary only) at wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/msdos/ada, in case they are interested. For the above reasons, I still don't have one for UNIX. Thanks in advance. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.
