Appologies to anyone who didn`t know about this. It was stated on the list
some time ago that this would happen. I`ve been compiling the guides for some
months now having taken it over from Roger Light.
In retrospect it would probably have been a good idea to mention it regularly
on the list. Again: Sorry.
I have changed the script so that it no longer includes addresses. I`m
checking the fesability of removing the addresses from the older guides but
this may take some time as I`m busy ATM.
The guides were not intended for consumption by the general public, rather by
member of the Amiga Community. Before I had access to the internet I
regularly read the archive of various programming lists on the Amiga Format
CD and found them very useful. Hopefully few spammers would search the Aminet
looking in .lha files for e-mail addresses.
