Add one more vote to the applause. Risking the possibility of being flamed, may I suggest an alternative to posting programs in this group? Is there any reason why they cannot be posted to comp.unix.sources or even alt.sources? Now, someone may want to post binaries since they are compatible across most 386 Unixes which would disqualify them in the sources groups. The volume may not be enough yet but someday we can have a comp.unix.sources.sysix86 or comp.binaries.unix.sysix86. This ought to cover the 486, 586, etc. -- Luis Basto Work: (512) 823-1893 Usenet: ...!cs.utexas.edu!mavrick!luis
