	I'm not sure what has been happening as of late, but when I
attempted to post two fairly small programs to it in August of last
year the result was that all the rules had to be met before my stuff
would be posted.

	The rules included such things as an imakefile, README,
patchlevel.h, shar format and a few more complexities. Since one
program was only a couple of pages long, and the other was short also,
I didn't see fit to overload the posting with all this stuff. Each
could be built with the cut/paste of a cc line from the initial
comment of the program.

	The resultant action was that my stuff never made it onto the
newsgroup, it is possible that others have also suffered the same
fate.

	I also understand the the moderator, Mike Wexler, is a pretty
busy guy.  So maybe he hasn't gotten the time as of late.
