This is a question that has probably been asked before, but I'm relatively
new to this list. I often see references to comp.sources.unix. Where can
I find this. Can I use ftp? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

comp.sources.unix is that fabled newsgroup moderated by one Rich $alz.
Unfortunately a couple of years ago it moved into a state of extreme
stagnation.  Every 6 months or so there is a little burst of postings
and then nothing.  I wouldn't waste a heck of a lot of time on the
newsgroup itself.  Your best bet is to locate a site which has collected
the many fine source postings from the days of plenty, these sites
are in abundance.
