Submitted-by: mikew@wyse.com Posting-number: Volume 0, Info 1 Archive-name: Welcome1.1 Welcome to comp.sources.x. This group is intended for software that runs only on X. I have talked with the moderators of comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.games and we agree that if the software is of interest to people that don't use X it should be posted to one of those groups. If I determine that a posting should be handled in another group, I will forward it to the moderator and inform the poster. I want to set a few editorial guidelines. 1. Postings must contain source code. 2. Postings must include a Makefile and a man page. 3. Postings should include an Imakefile. 4. Postings should be in shar(shell archive) format. I am using the same software as Rick Salz to do these postings so the headers(includeing Archive-name) should be the same. Here is the information on the current archive sites. Some of it is incomplete. I will make more information available in the future. If you have questions please send them to both me and the archive adminstrator. Here is what each field means: Person/Site: The name of the person and their mail address Where: The general area they are located in Service: How people will access their archive Direct connect: Whether we can establish a UUCP connection for the purposes of insuring that the archives are up to date.
