I mailed the source and binaries for my Mandelbrot DA about a month
ago. This DA features background processing, a window, a menu and
a dialog box. It also has a goodbye kiss procedure. I don't think
that I've left out anything that a normal DA might do.

The code is fairly well documented because I originally intended
to write an article for MacTutor. (In fact, I think I have more
comments in the source than the standard MacTutor article, but
I haven't written even a "README" file...)

I would like to know why large things like the esperanto stack,
nethack, RISK and some other really large stuff gets posted while
small programs have to wait for months. I'd like to hear from the
moderator, if he hasn't gotten my mail. (Try routing your mail through
bitnet hosts...it's a lot faster than usenet mail.)

The program is totally free, but it has the same restrictions that
GNU software has. You have to make sure the user knows of all the
modifications that you have done.

How about making votes on what stuff gets posted? The moderator
could make monthly lists of what he has gotten and send the most
wanted stuff first.

P.S. My DA just happens to be written in LS C!
