As you all know, the comp.binaries.hypercard has been approved. I've asked someone at an "official" site to create the group. As soon as it appears, you can start sending in your stacks. I've created a special address to which stacks are to be sent: inhp4!husc6!amcad!stech!hypercard or allegra!stech!hypercard Though the first path is longer, it costs less to send things that way, so if you can, use it. Something is broken at amcad, the system that feeds me news (they're not queuing news for stech) and I haven't had anything incoming for nearly a week now (outgoing seems fine), so I may not know when the binaries group actually gets created. (Would somebody send me mail and let me know if it's already been done...). At any rate, I'm trusting you all not to send stacks until you've seen that message about the group. Meanwhile, I'm going to try to find out why I'm not getting any news from my buddy in the next town!

Well, according to Gene Spafford's lists that were posted on the 15th, comp.binaries.hypercard is official. Those of you who have stacks you'd like to share with the net, you can send them to: allegra!stech!hypercard or ihnp4!husc6!amcad!stech!hypercard At the same time, please send a short description of the stack, any restrictions on its distribution, etc., etc., to: allegra!stech!sysop or ihnp4!husc6!amcad!stech!sysop I've been advised, by a knowledgeable source, that I should initially be very liberal selecting which stacks to post. Therefore, I'll be relying on you folks to let me know what you think of the stacks to help me come up with criteria for deciding what's "net-worthy".

I've been posting messages and stacks to comp.binaries.hypercard. Has ANYONE received them? If you have received any postings to that group, please send me mail. I have this terrible suspicion that nothing is getting out....

Well, it looks like we're going to have to seek another moderator for comp.binaries.hypercard. My access to the net is just too unreliable. Today is the first day in TWO WEEKS that news has come through. What that means is that I just can't get things out. Though things may get more reliable after the first of the year (my newsfeed may change), I hate to let things ride until then. Is there anyone out there with a reliable connection to the net who is willing to take on this responsibility? I can mail you all of the stacks that are waiting to go out to get you started. (If I mail to you through allegra, you'll get it. Unfortunately, my newsfeed is through the husc6!amcad path, which is the one that has become highly irregular.) I suspect if no one volunteers, then the group will die a lingering, painful death. Are you willing to help save a dying newsgroup? Commit yourself to selfless service....?????
