Between IMIPOLI and AWIWUW11, there is a black hole known as FRMOP22 where files may opt to stay on vacations for a period from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the weather. The only thing this user accomplished by resending the request 7 times, was to cause 7 copies of his files to go on vacations in the FRMOP22 spool. I would like to suggest that this user should complain to the EARN Board of Director (DEAR-BOD@IRLEARN) if he is not satisfied with the time it takes for files to cross the FRMOP22-CEARN line. Eric
