Would it be possible to set up a file transfer facility similar to that of
Morgan Davis' Proline on this board?
Please reply via e-mail instead of the net. Thank you.

Thank you. Isn't it possible to set up an Apple software exchange in comp.sources. and label it comp.sources.apple? Or do we all have to apply to the net gods to get this group set up? -- Patt Haring UUCP: ..cmc12!phri!dasys1!patth Big Electric Cat Compu$erve: 76566,2510 New York, NY, USA MCI Mail: 306-1255; GEnie: PATT

I think it is a good idea to have a comp.sources.apple. I vote for it!

The problem with wanting to create a comp.sources.apple is that one has to justify it. At least at this sites that I have access to, there have been few, if any sources posted to comp.sys.apple. The proper procedure is to post sources here. When the volume of sources exceeds the volume of mail, THEN, one posts a request for a new group to news.groups. This person volenteers to collect EMAIL votes for a period of time (probably 2 weeks). Then, a summary of the number of yes vs no votes (total tally) is posted to news.groups. At that point, the net.gods determine wheteher we have provided enough sacrificial lambs to suffice and either create the necessary group or tell us to buzz off. If the group is created, then ALL FURTHER source postings should go to this group. Binaries should continue here until a similar situation occurs (the mass amount of items, the vote, the decision). If we play by the rules, we should be able to have the new groups in 4-5 months. -- Larry W.
