Howdy, To keep a rather simple question simple, is it safe for me to assume that there are no more sources available for the Amiga anywhere? I mean, if there are no more sources, do I need to buy more disks? If the comp.[sources|binaries].amiga newsgroups are any indicator then perhaps my assumptions are valid. Our records show exactly 8 programs posted since June 21st. These consist of Mandelvroom, iff2sun, archie, file, hopalong, gnused, anncs and cachecard. This covers a period of almost seven weeks. The amiga source/binary groups have been equally dead for almost 5 months. So, what do YOU think? Are you pleased with the amiga source/binary group? Are you upset? Worth mentioning perhaps... NOTE: The objective of this message was not hositility; rather, a sincere question regarding the USENET as a reliable source for quality Amiga programs. -------- -- dean@coplex.UUCP Dean A.

Most stuff on binaries|sources comes through in spurts. It's dead for a about 2 or 3 weeks then wham here comes 10 more programs. Mr. Page also has a full time job on top of doing the sources and binaries postings, so we have to wait until he has the time. Also, maybe there is a problem with nobody sending him anything? So maybe you might try sending him a gob o' stuff to post, eh? Might be better to send a list of filenames first to make sure that it hasn't already been posted before. It is reliable, you just have to wait a bit. -- John Sparks | {rutgers|uunet}!ukma!corpane!sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps ||||||||||||||| sparks@corpane.UUCP | 502/968-5401 thru -5406 Cheerio-Magnetics: The tendency of the last few cheerios in a bowl of milk to cling together for survival.
