    Ok, here is the state of comp.sources.amiga or whatever your
favorite name is.  I am still the moderator for this group and am doing
my best to get it up and running on the net.  Unfortunatly, I am not
totally in control of this.
    It seems that a few sites were premature in removing
mod.sources.amiga and replacing it with comp.sources.amiga.  That
includes my site and quite a few around me, so in effect, I cannot get
out to all of the people who have mod.sources.amiga still on their
machines.  Most of the machines in this area have also created the
newsgroup comp.sources.amiga, so when I was posting quite a few things
earlier, the only sources that I could really check from had my
postings arriving just fine.  After I heard from alot of people that
comp.sources.amiga didn't exist everywhere, I got in touch with some of
the higher ups (spaf@gatech, etc.) and found that officially, all
moderated groups that started with anything other than mod do not exist
yet.
    Currently I am still trying to get someone to officially create the
group, and hopefully I can get somewhere this week with that.  After
that, I am planning on reposting most of the sources I have recieved so
far, including releases of the Shell, DBW's vt100 and many other
programs.  Also, after I get my copy of the new Manx compiler (they
have been promising soon for a long time, but I got a Feb. 24th out of
them finally) I plan on posting alot of the binaries with them.
