While the request to send sources to 'comp.sources.atari.st' and binaries
to 'comp.binaries.atari.st' (or better yet, mail the stuff directly to the
moderator of both groups, Steven Grimm) is indeed something to consider, I
would nevertheless like to put an answer to that question. People post
sources/executables here because they want them to reach the net and reach
it fast, especially if they're afraid that the moderator wouldn't think the
stuff to be worthwhile.
