Probably... to find who exactly get the file alt.hacker.Z
from the directory usenet/control/alt/ on ftp.uu.net
ObHack:
I coded an auto-reply mailbox on my system using ms-batch, a utility I
had written in C, another utility I coded in ASM and a debug script that
modified a data file, and yes.. it worked.. provided that is I only got one
request per session! I ran it for about a week before coding a proper version
in C, which I`m still using, see pgp key below.
