The correct place for PC source code is comp.sources.misc:  If you think
that too few people will see it there, post an article to comp.sys.ibm.pc
that points interested parties to it.  If we had a higher volume of
PC source code, we could create a new newsgroup for it - however, the
volume is sufficiently low to suggest that the "misc" group should be
used.
