To re-iterate a suggestion of mine vis a vis the comp.binaries.cbm discussion would it not be possible to create a "cover-all" newsgroup, called comp.programs.eight-bit that contains everything. I.E. CP/M binaries, source, C64 / C128 BASIC progs, assembler source, C source, Commodore binary executables. Yeah, I know it'd be a real mish-mash, but there is a lot of interest in a CBM binaries / source group (if you don't believe me, go look at the last two weeks in comp.sys.cbm :-) Add to that the fact that I am now 12 mailings behind on getting my assembler out to .UUCP sites, gives you some idea of the amount of interest we have here. Please note - I have cross posted to what I believe are the relevant newsgroups, but followups are directed to news.groups (the correct place for them) Watch that space for details. -- dg@lakart.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ | +-+-+ ....... !harvard!adelie!cfisun!lakart!dg +-+-+ | +---+
