Allbery) Organization: Cleveland Public Access UN*X, Cleveland, Oh Lines: 34 Approved: allbery@ncoast.UUCP This is the monthly Info posting for comp.sources.misc. Hopefully, any questions you have will be answered here; if they are not, send mail to me (allbery@ncoast.UUCP), the moderator. This newsgroup is not for large programs which belong in other sources groups; it is for sources which do not fit elsewhere (for example, MS-DOS and VMS non-game sources) and for the small stuff -- for example, your favorite shell script to set your prompt or etc. -- the little stuff that just doesn't warrant submission to comp.sources.unix (formerly mod.sources), where it'd look a bit silly next to the latest posting of Xterm... As a result, there will be no archiving, and the group will be run in an informal fashion. In general, *anything* will be accepted, but -- (1) Sources that belong elsewhere will be submitted to another newsgroup. This will primarily be done with large programs, which will be forwarded to comp.sources.unix. The determinant for this is whether it has more than one source file or not. (2) Discussion will be routed to comp.sources.d rather than cluttering this newsgroup. This newsgroup isn't expected to be a high-volume one, since the "big" stuff will be sent elsewhere. However, it is to be hoped that people still have the desire to post their favorite prompt generators, integer square root algorithms, etc. (If the last days of net.sources are any indication, they do.) ++Brando -- Brandon S.
