I would like to encourage any people with useful or interesting source code
to send it to the Info-Mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. As a moderator,
one of my goals is to make the source directory at sumex a more useful
resource.

To make your source code useful to others requires a few things. It should have
a clear explanation attached as to what the code is intended to do. It should
be as modular as possible so it can be dropped into other programs. Weird OS
stuff should be commented a little. And it should have your e-mail address so
that you can take advantage of the net's beta-testing ability while the net
takes advantage of your debugging skills.

Please don't be shy. The more examples there are, the easier programming the
Mac will be.
