I am pleased to announce the creation of a new set of moderated newsgroups dealing with Apple's Macintosh. The new groups are: mod.mac (formally mod.computers.macintosh) mod.mac.sources mod.mac.binaries My name is Roger Long, and I've volunteered to moderate the last two groups. As you might imagine, mod.mac.sources will distribute sources for Macintosh software, and mod.mac.binaries will distribute binaries. Once these groups have been in use for awhile, it is expected that net.sources.mac will be removed. The level of moderation will be minimal, and my job will be mostly to decide which group to post a submission to. Given the distinction between the two groups, this should not be difficult. You should make sure that your moderators file is updated to reflect these new groups. The uucp address for both groups is felix!macintosh. Felix has connections to hplabs, oliveb, and trwrb, to name a few. Queries may be directed to felix!macintosh-request. At this point I'd like to mention that your support would be GREATLY appreciated. To facilitate distribution of the newsgroup, it would be nice if one or two east coast sites could arrange to poll felix to pick up postings to mod.mac. It would also be nice if a few sites around the world could arrange to archive these groups so that I don't need to be the only one responding to requests for missed articles. If you'd be interested in doing either of these things, please contact me. Finally, your support in just USING these newsgroups will be appreciated. If there's anything I can do to make these newsgroups more useful, let me know. [I encourage those of you currently using net.sources.mac to send your sources and binaries to Roger instead - you'll reach a wider audience. - MRH.]
