I agree that having only a comp.binaries.apple2 group hinders the distribution of sources, and also that comp.sources.misc is inappropriate for the posting of Apple II source code. I'm in favor of anything which will promote more distribution and discussion of sources for the Apple II.. Currently there seems to be few or no sources released for Apple II programs. I think a comp.sources.apple2 could change that, and be a benefit to many apple II users on the net.. I'll definitely vote yes on the creation of this newsgroup.. -- \ / C r o s s r o a d s C o m m u n i c a t i o n s /\ (602) 941-2005 300|1200 Baud 24 hrs/day / \ hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!cc
