I have to agree with Richard Nickle: be reasonable.  Joachim is making a 
significant contribution, of interest to the general readership, and it 
isn't exactly easy for him to get stuff over to, say, piggy for those 
of us in the USA to get to it.

Moderation is the key.  Certainly I've seen plenty of precedent in other 
groups for posting modest files, and there is no appropriate newsgroup 
for our needs.  

Scott Rose is correct to be concerned about excessive postings of source 
files, especially if they are large and/or frequent, so I suggest we 
exercise judgement and restraint.  (Also in our rebukes.)

Personally, I grabbed that source with great pleasure.  

I hope ultimately to see a sources newsgroup for all small-unixes; with 
some care we can provide useful tools for QNX, Coherent, Minix, Xinu, 
... (did Wendin ever get their OS out the door?)
