I've been tossing the idea around with some friends on how something like this
would work. inCider wouldn't have any problem with it. Call-A.P.P.L.E.
technically only provides those downloads to members via the bulletin board,
but it seems to me that a feed of their program source code could only help
sell magazines, so they might go for it.

The big problem is that it would be a big feed. So big that a lot of the small
BBS's carrying comps.sys.binaries and/or apple2-l might not be able to afford
the added bandwidth each month. So it would probably have to be an auxiliary
feed.

If any of you would like to discuss it or offer your thoughts and suggestions,
I would be happy to compile a digest from your e-mail.
