Following my complaints about the lack of a TNT schedule for
this month, and despite the fact that I'd written to Kathy
Meuwissen at MultiChoice about it, I received the following
e-mail from Christine Bailey today:

Thank you Christine. I will post both guides for February and
March '97 which were sent to me by Tyrone Delport of MultiChoice
<tyr...@finance.mck.co.za>. In order to conserve bandwidth, I will
not xpost them - I will *only* post them to za.tv.satellite. If your
news server does not carry this news group, I suggest that you have
a serious chat to your ISP, and maybe I could ask Greg to make them
available as a FTP file request off his BBS.

Sure thing. Anyone who want them can simply send an email message
as follows, and you will receive the schedules back via email. Send
you message to ftp...@fc.co.za and in the body of the message put

GET TNTFEB.ZIP

If you want the March guide you must use:

GET TNTMAR.ZIP

Please email me if you have any problems.

BTW, thanks for getting them for us Mike.

Cheers
Greg
