Hi Tyler, shAUD321.WAV
What, how'd that get in there? That's what I want to know.
As you know, I get all my voice mail from the JFax service
http://www.jfax.com as voice enclosures (of type *.gsm). For some reason,
when I launch my gsm player from Eudora, it leaves *.WAV droppings in my C:\
folder, which I then periodically clear out. For some even more unknown
reason, it left this dropping in my e/src/bin directory, which then got
packaged by my release-making procedure into all the tarballs I've uploaded
to the usual place. It contains a message that is definitely not to be
publicly broadcast. I caught this by accident and easily could have missed
it. Since you're about to be unpacking and repacking these tarballs anyway,
could you remove it? It seems to have gotten into all of them.
Disturbed,
