    I have uploaded version 1.5 of PB and PG for Linux to Metalab.unc.edu. The
    file
    name is pbpg-1.5.tar.gz. I have placed the file and the accompanying
    lsm-file in /incoming/Linux. The target directory is /pub/linux/apps/ham.
    The file may also be downloaded from
    ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/Linux/pbpg-1.5.tar.gz.

    The updated documentation is found in the file named README.

    This is a patch release:

    - Sometimes PB would send requests for directory fills when it was not

            needed. This has been fixed. It was due to erroneous handling of
            fragmented broadcast directory entries.

    The lsm reads as follows:

    Title: PB and PG for Linux
    Version: 1.5
    Entered-date: 6 JUN 2000

    Description: PB and PG for Linux are programs used for download from and
                    upload to digital satellites (Pacsats) supporting the FTL0
                    protocol. This software allows you to directly communicate
                    with the Microsat series of satellites. It provides a
                    Curses (Ncurses) based user interface. It features automatic

                    directory fill requests and simple, rules based file
                    download requests.
                    This version of the programs will work with kernel
                    revisions 2.0.24 or higher.
