Alt.sources.amiga is an unmoderated newsgroup intended for the posting of
source code to Amiga computer programs.  Binaries are OK in a pinch.

Alt.sources.amiga was created to alleviate long delays in getting programs
through the moderated Amiga newsgroups, comp.sources.amiga and 
comp.binaries.amiga.

It is expected that alt.sources.amiga's usage will vary a lot based on how the 
current moderator of the aforementioned comp groups is doing in getting 
programs out.

Since alt.sources.amiga used to be moderated, there are still quite a few sites
who think it is, and posting things to the group still causes your message
to be bounced back to sugar from all over the country.
For the next few weeks, if you can, please stick an "Approved:" line in
the header of your posting.  (This is trivial for rn users; vnews/readnews
users will have to queue directly to inews)  If you don't know how to do
this, please mail your posting to amiga-sources@sugar.hackercorp.com
(uunet!sugar!amiga-sources) and we will post it for you.  Once most of the 
sites who have missed or not executed the control message to make 
alt.sources.amiga unmoderated, you will be able to post to it as to any
other unmoderated newsgroup.
