Haven't been on Usenet long, eh? The standard way to keep people up to
date is to include context from previous posts. Include just enough to
give people an idea; include Message-IDs from previous messages in the
thread if really necessary.

That's good.

The links aren't working at all. "Connection timed out when attempting
to contact bcvrf.yahoo.com ." I've never heard of this "Yahoo
briefcase" and I'm not impressed by it just from the apparantly-useless
CGI parameters required.

By "your webspace", I meant "the 5 or 10 M of space most ISPs provide to
their users; typically accessible with http://isp.example.com/~username
". Consult your ISP's FAQ for advice on uploading files to that space.
If your ISP doesn't provide webspace, it's probably not a very good ISP.
5 or 10 M isn't much, but it can be simpler than running your own
webserver. If you have no other alternative, send the files to my
e-mail (mind the SPAN TRAP) and I'll post them on my webspace and follow
up with URLs for anyone who's interested.
