does not allow attachments. :(

Yes, I admit that, as a software developer, Gmail not allowing one to attach
certain file types can certainly be incredibly annoying, but the point is, it
certainly does not block ALL attachments. Just *some*.
Besides that, not everyone USES gmail either. Those who do not use gmail
certainly wouldn't be blocked.
Members should be allowed to attach certain harmless types of files IMHO,
such as screen shots and .txt files containing JCL or log files, etc (or in my
case, .patch/.diff file).
But to broadly disallow ANY/ALL attachments for EVERYONE -- even those
who don't use gmail -- is ridiculous IMHO. That's extreme overkill IMHO.
There used to be an option in a Groups.IO group's administrative Settings
that an administrator could set to automatically strip attachments from all
messages and replace them with a clickable link instead, but they must have
changed things recently because I don't see that option anymore.
It does however still have a setting that ALLOWS attachments, and I for one
would like to respectfully request that you please reconsider your decision
regarding allowing attachments.
If you want to distribute files please use the files section on the
groups.io web site. Create a folder and store the files in it. There
is also a photos section for your pictures. The file I want to attach is a small .patch file (a TEXT file) and is not (IMO)
appropriate for uploading to the files area. It's not meant to be a permanent
redistributable.
Yes, I could "inline" it in my message, but due to the way email clients format
messages (including Groups.IO itself), there's no guarantee the patch would
be formatted properly. Attaching it in this case is the (IMO) correct way for
dealing with such things.
Respectfully,

Re: How to enter the cent sign using x3270 on a raspberry pi
I've sort of solved my problem - I typed a whole load of characters into a
text file on my Mac then copied them to my Pi and thence to VM. One of
them turned into a cent in CMS so I can now edit the EXEC on my Mac and
then transfer it to CMS. Thanks fr the help anyway.
It's really not that hard: SET INPUT E0 4A Ready; T=0.01/0.02 19:16:25 EDIT TEST EXEC CASE M INPUT &TYPE This is a cent sign: \ FILE Ready; T=0.05/0.31 19:17:11 EXEC TEST This is a cent sign: ? Ready; T=0.01/0.04 19:17:29 Regards, Peter Coghlan.

Re: How to enter the cent sign using x3270 on a raspberry pi
Thanks tor the advice but:
1. the SET INPUT works fine on the command line but doesn't work
within an editor where I need to insert ? (cent) characters into my
EXEC. x3270 doesn't offer a copy/paste option either.
It works in EDIT. Doesn't everyone use EDIT :-) Regards, Peter Coghlan.

2. I can't get x3270 to find my keymap file. I've tried giving the full path in the -keymap option of x3270 but it says not found even though a ls command with the same full path does find it. I can't locate the base keyap file that x3270 uses either. When I select the 'display current keymap'? menu option it says:
? ?Keymap 'base', from resource x3270.keymap.base'
The linux find command can't seem to find the resource either.??
