Alt.sources.amiga is an unmoderated newsgroup intended for the posting of source code to Amiga computer programs. Binaries are OK in a pinch. Alt.sources.amiga was created to alleviate long delays in getting programs through the moderated Amiga newsgroups, comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga. It is expected that alt.sources.amiga's usage will vary a lot based on how the current moderator of the aforementioned comp groups is doing in getting programs out. Since alt.sources.amiga used to be moderated, there are still quite a few sites who think it is, and posting things to the group still causes your message to be bounced back to sugar from all over the country. For the next few weeks, if you can, please stick an "Approved:" line in the header of your posting. (This is trivial for rn users; vnews/readnews users will have to queue directly to inews) If you don't know how to do this, please mail your posting to amiga-sources@sugar.hackercorp.com (uunet!sugar!amiga-sources) and we will post it for you. Once most of the sites who have missed or not executed the control message to make alt.sources.amiga unmoderated, you will be able to post to it as to any other unmoderated newsgroup. -- -- uunet!sugar!karl "There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that -- flags do not wave in a vacuum." -- Arthur C.

If you do this, please say in the subject line that the message is for posting, like so: Subject: POST whatever... I get a lot of bounced mail at this adress, because of the sites that think I'm still moderating it. This will tell me not to just kill your message.
