Has this been created "net-wide" yet, or is this some local strain that Ephraim is accessing? The news administrators at Fluke have assured me that we have not gotten a "create newsgroup" message here yet; just wondered if others were in the same boat. I assumed that mod.mac.{binaries,sources} were the current newsgroups for distributing Macintosh sources and binaries, and that they might someday metamorphize into comp.sources.mac... but I was assuming that was going to be delayed. If the answer is common knowledge, please reply by mail. T'anks.

(On confusion about comp.sources.mac)
I think, judging from some of my correspondence, that some sites have
created comp.sources.mac (and removed net.sources.mac). The result is
that postings to these groups aren't propagating.
I *THINK* that crossposting to both groupnames (c.s.m and n.s.m) should
cause articles to propagate intact through sites which carry either
group, and may therefore serve as a fix until someone lets the offending
sites know that they should get rid of comp.sources.mac and bring back
n.s.m. Would someone who is more knowledgable in the ways of news
please advise as to whether this is a good idea?
