Too bad it's obsolete (and in a sense, a real waste >of net.bandwidth), We have a _serious_ problem here. This is really starting to bug me. There are quite a number of really nice programs and tools for the Amiga which regularly appear via other sources (eg., bbses, plink, genie, ci$). I see stuff like, for example, the QRT ray tracer, a ShowWiz slideshow pgm, viewers, disassemblers, etc., surfacing almost every day. These are good-to-terrific pieces of work which not everyone has access to. I see lots of posting on usenet for all the other machines (pc, mac, st). Sometimes these are _massive_ postings. I can't pretend I don't notice a lack of Amiga postings anymore. I have several pieces of code which I want to _give_ you all (eg., SnipIt sources, a loom simulator, etc.), but I probably won't until I see this thing clear up. (I am aware of alt.amiga, or whatever, but I don't believe everyone sees that- I don't believe I see it). It's really almost pointless to get tools like DME months after they've become obsolete. I mean, it's really stupid. Like dumb. Is there anything which can be done to expedite the binaries/sources moderation such that we can start the flow again?? -scott
