Surely ANY posting of binaries and source is better than none.

During most months of late 1986, early 1987, I captured about 1 disc full 
per month from the net. (Four during Jan 1987!)

I doubt if I have had 2 discs full in the last six months.

I don't believe this is because people are not writing things; I have 
managed to get quite a bit by going (literally) disc in hand, to the right
people, and have heard of quite a few things that were on their  way to 
ST source/binaries, that have never appeared.

Yes, the sources and binary groups are the right place, but I think the 
time has now come to post here, rather than nowhere.

Things that I have heard of, and would like to see :
(But please don't mail them to me without checking: we have limits)

Molecule;   Aim V2 + new data files;   1stLatex V2; 
regular updates of Uniterm (have 2.0a)
StCad;  Icon V2 ;   Levee ;    Colour flipping tools (and demos) 
Uniterm2 docs (Tex or otherwise);   blitter docs

Are there any upgrades to the originals of the following :

Starchart;   DviSt;  

Something that I have just got, and can recommend : 1stw2PS

File transfer is probably easy in the States, not so good this side of the 
Atlantic, person to person mail across the atlantic seems a waste if many
people want it, so : PLEASE LET US HAVE PROGRAMS, NOT JUST TALK !
