From: "LYNNE C MOORE" <moorel@eglin-vax> An open letter to the moderator: I am located on an arpanet host which doesn't have a node on the usenet, hence I am unable to get any of the files posted to net.sources. Is there any way these could be archived to an arpanet node for FTP? In particular, I am interested in the amiga3d program mentioned a few days ago in the interest group, and anything dealing with interrupt handlers/servers for the serial and parallel ports. Thanks a lot, Lynne C. Moore <moorel@eglin-vax.arpa> Sr. Software Analyst RCA-OMS P. O. Box 1446 Eglin AFB, Fl 32542 (904) 882-9426 ------

From: Mike (I'll be mellow when I'm dead) Meyer <mwm%ucbopal@BERKELEY.EDU> First, a short not to people posting to net.sources: *POST TO MOD.SOURCES INSTEAD* This may be somewhat harder if your site has old software, but in return you don't have to listen to people whine about not getting all the pieces, etc. Well worth it. To all those not able to get to net.sources postings: The ARPANet mail list UNIX-SOURCES redistributes copies of net.sources. Quoting from the list-of-lists: ARPANET/MilNet gateway for distribution of the "UUCP net" Unix net.sources newslist. Only ONE person at a site should subscribe, since articles tend to be rather long. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to UNIX-SOURCES-REQUEST@BRL. Note that *before* asking to be added to the list, make sure that nobody on your site is getting it. Also, the request to be added should go to the -REQUEST address, *not* the UNIX-SOURCES address. [Sorry if I've offended someone by restating what the message said, but if one person does the right thing instead of the wrong thing, I think it will have been worht it.] <mike

From: "Neville D. Newman" <NEVILLE%umass-cs.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA> [in a previous posting, Mike Meyer points out that net.sources is both gateway'd to the Internet and archived at BRL. He correctly notes that the name of the ARPA list to subscribe to is UNIX-SOURCES-REQUEST.] Mike, do you or your site actually get stuff from this list? Ever since the original posting of this info to Info-Amiga several weeks ago, we (UMass) have been trying to get on the list but to no avail. Somebody (was it you, i can't remember) forwarded us a note from the manager of the list saying that their feed from Usenet had been broken for a while but was now (then) fixed and folks should start getting postings again. We have tried just about everything short of phoning BRL and trying to reach the moderator, but we *still* have gotten no confirmation of being placed on the list (and, of course, no net.sources postings). i would appreciate any- and everybody who receives UNIX-SOURCES telling me the moderator's net address, name and phone # if known, and whether or not you are *right now* receiving postings. There is too much source code being missed -- i want us on that list yesterday. If we are successful, i will post a how-to article here in Info-Amiga. Reply to me at: neville@umass.csnet if you are domain-ified. neville%umass@csnet-relay if your aren't. Note the .csnet !! We aren't registered in the EDU domain yet. Neville D. Newman
