The Radio Amateur Telecommunications Society has several
pieces of software which we are willing to place here in both
source and executable form. We have a few questions for the
crew before we proceed.
1. We would only send it via a single distribution/newsgroup,
which one ?
2. Since binary is not acceptable what form is most welcome ?
(we have been thinking of the PC BTOA programme if it is
popular. Should we use a UNIX utility ?)
3. We will also post the DOCUMENTATION...should we pack it up
or since it isn't too large just post each file ?
4. Is there any demand for the source ?
Comments anyone ?
By the way, the mailing has started to flow out the door...
We would like to post the stuff here to help distribute the
software more rapidly.
Thanks,
J. Gordon Beattie, Jr.

A lot of times I find source easier to understand than documentation. Besides I was born and raised on UNIX version 6, I love source. ********* 73 ********** Richard Loken VE6BSV . **** .. **** Athabasca University .... **** Athabasca, Alberta Canada ..........**** ihnp4!alberta!auvax
