Please allow me to add my plea to that of the other ArpaNet readers...

If you upload a program, upload it to net.micro.amiga, not to net.sources.
That way, all of us poor ArpaNet people will be able to get a copy, too,
and your program will spread farther and wider...and more people will be
able to enjoy it.

       Thank you very much!

I've been replying privately, but it is clear that we have a whole
bunch of ARPAnovices on info-amiga and maybe it will cut down
on the complaining to broadcast this to the whole group just once;

  a) net.sources *IS* available on the arpanet.  It is gatewayed
through BRL (where it changes its name to "unix-sources").  Send
a message to unix-sources-request@brl to be added.
  b) There are on-line archives of unix-sources which you can
anonymous FTP things out from.  It is at BRL or seismo, I forget
which, but unix-sources-request should be able to tell you where
they are.
