LSoft automagically updates the files *for the backbone servers*.  The problem is
that there's a lot of non-backbone servers that don't have a *clue* on how to
keep up to date, and even after I've sent them "Type *THIS*" instructions, they
are still backleveled.

The top of my hit list are 2 bitnet sites that are running the 9512 and 9510
tables (yes, two *YEARS* out of date).  And you'd *THINK* that the people at
"CNET: THE COMPUTER NETWORK" could do better than 9603, which they were running
up until Oct 3 (when the 9710 tables went out. To their credit, they *are* now
on the 9711 tables.

AND YO! A-O-HELL! [log in to unmask] is *still* at 9603.

Sorry, but public embarassment seems to be the only way to motivate some of
these sites.
