Good advice.

Right on.  I have a huge collection of source code, both self-written and
downloaded.  Anything that is not a commercial product of mine has been
posted to various services -- unfortunately, the times I have tried to post
(read that mail it to the moderator) on this net, nothing seems to happen.
This was true of the Pascal and Modula-2 versions of Paul's excellent
TransSkel and Blob Manager (latter only in Pascal so far) as well as a few
utilities and games.  If someone who really knows how to get it so that the
stuff will go out will mail me a set of directions (explicit ones), I would
appreciate it and the rest of you will benefit.
