This posting of *long* assembly programs has to stop.  Disks runneth
over, phone bills surely soareth.  The proper procedure for posting of long
sources is to post them to net.sources or mod.sources so that they may be
archived only where sufficient disk space exists.  Having them sent out to
every Tom/Dick/Harry on the distribution list is grossly inefficient and
violates basic net etiquette.  Typical comp.sys.cbm monthly traffic is
about 60000 bytes; traffic for May 87 has already surpassed 1/2 Megabyte!
Please post sources to net.sources or mod.sources, then post a short note to
the distribution list abstracting the sources and pointing to the appropriate
*.sources list.  Failure to do this may cause comp.sys.cbm to be banned
by the powers that be.  An occasional posting of a short to medium length
source when substantial interest has been explicitly expressed is generally
considered acceptable, but this is getting out of hand.

Sincerely,
Frank Prindle
