Actually, the statement that one's local Apple user groups will have the
latest GS software is only partially true.  Some local Apple user groups will
have some of the less ancient GS software would be more accurate .  User Groups
only get the software if members a) write it, b) find it somewhere else.
It doesnt just appear.  Thus, those members who are trying to FIND the
latest software so that they can get it INTO their groups libraries STILL
have to find a source for it.  Since I have been unable to find (and would
probably be unwilling to trust) any local BBS carrying anything but pirated
software, I am STILL in search of reliable sources of softwar.e  For some
reason our Usenet and Bitnet sources for such software are drying up -
very little has been arriving in comp.binaries.apple2, I have not been able
to get a bitnet connectio to brownvm for 2 weeks or more.  I have access to
CIS software - but even there, it appears that the lurkers are winning - the
contributions have been rather slow the last 6 months.  Are folks on the
other 4 or so major services (Delphi, Source, Genie, AppleLink) finding the
same thing?
