Surely ANY posting of binaries and source is better than none. During most months of late 1986, early 1987, I captured about 1 disc full per month from the net. (Four during Jan 1987!) I doubt if I have had 2 discs full in the last six months. I don't believe this is because people are not writing things; I have managed to get quite a bit by going (literally) disc in hand, to the right people, and have heard of quite a few things that were on their way to ST source/binaries, that have never appeared. Yes, the sources and binary groups are the right place, but I think the time has now come to post here, rather than nowhere. Things that I have heard of, and would like to see : (But please don't mail them to me without checking: we have limits) Molecule; Aim V2 + new data files; 1stLatex V2; regular updates of Uniterm (have 2.0a) StCad; Icon V2 ; Levee ; Colour flipping tools (and demos) Uniterm2 docs (Tex or otherwise); blitter docs Are there any upgrades to the originals of the following : Starchart; DviSt; Something that I have just got, and can recommend : 1stw2PS File transfer is probably easy in the States, not so good this side of the Atlantic, person to person mail across the atlantic seems a waste if many people want it, so : PLEASE LET US HAVE PROGRAMS, NOT JUST TALK ! j.b. webber jbww@Ukc.ac.uk

If the bottleneck is in moderation, why not just make comp.binaries.atari.st unmoderated and post binaries there? I agree with Richard Lloyd that one shouldn't need to sift through comp.sys.atari.st just to find programs that one wants. Surely posting unmoderated binaries to comp.binaries.atari.st is better than posting unmoderated binaries to comp.sys.atari.st! -- Ashwin Ram -- ARPA: Ram-Ashwin@cs.yale.edu UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,harvard,cmcl2,...}!yale!Ram-Ashwin BITNET: Ram@yalecs
