    Ok, here is the current state of comp.sources.amiga and
comp.binaries amiga.  A newgrp was sent out about a week and a half
ago, that did not seem to get very far judging by the response to my
test message.  Because of this, another newgrp was sent out, for both
comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga.  From the response to my
test messages, I am going to assume that this one made it.  If it has
not made it to your site as of yet, first off, be patient, it should
get their.  If it is not their within a week, please contact YOUR news
administrator.  Also, please do NOT reply to these test messages if you
haven't done so already.  I want to thank everyone who did, it gave
me a good idea of how far it has made it and shows me who is watching
the group!  (BTW, the most origional reply goes to mark@cogent... ;-)
    Now, I would like to give you all some info on how to get your
submissions to me.  If your running on a news 2.11 site, all you should
have to do is try and post the article and it should forward the
article via mail to me for posting.  If your not running news 2.11, I
will first plea that you get your news administrator to update the
software ;-)  Second, I will tell you that you can send me your
postings directly by sending them to:
	UUCP: ihnp4!pur-ee!j.cc.purdue.edu!amiga-sources-request 
	ARPA: amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu (or doc@asc.cc.purdue.edu)
If you want it to go to the binaries group, just substitute binaries
for sources in the address.
    And, last but not least, if you are going to be posting articles, I
would like you to include some minimal information in your postings:
    A breif description of the program.  
    What compiler you compiled it with.  
    Any hints/suggestions for compiling with other compilers.
    What version(s) of Kickstart/Workbench does it work with.  
    What type of program do you consider it (game, utility, tutorial, etc.) 
    Any other info you consider to be important.
If you are posting a revision to a program that has been posted to the
net previously, I would like to know if you have forwarded your
additions or bug-fixes to the origional author already.  If not, I will
take the liberty to do so.
	Thanx, and hope to hear from ya soon!
