[[Mail to you on this subject was bounced.]]

I suggest doing what rich $alz recently did with some sources of his
own:
1)  Post them to alt.sources.  Add a note at the top that you have
tested on certain machines and flavor(s) of OS, and provide an e-mail
address for collecting bug reports and porting difficulties.  
2)  After a sufficient shake-down period, incorporate the reported
improvements and post to comp.sources.unix.  Post patches to alt.sources.
This allows people who are anxious to try it out to get the current
version quickly; they also understand that it may cause some problems. 
The patches allow the early implementors to bring their copy up to the
same level as the comp.sources.unix posting without waiting for it.

If you don't get alt.sources, you need to recruit a volunteer to handle
this for you.  Perhaps someone with both Usenet and BIX access could do
it most easily.
