I organized this in another article but I think this deserves it's own posting. We should set up a mailing list for porting efforts that includes the gang at C= so that porting efforts aren't done multiple times. Since I have such a big mouth, I'm willing to set it up. If you want to join and help coordinate ports, send mail to: amix-ports-request@kas.helios.mn.org Please include an e-mail address to have the list sent to and a list of programs you've ported or will be porting. After a week or so if I get enough names I'll set up a mailing list and we can start comparing notes. Hopefully the C= crew will be willing to join too. I would ask that only one e-mail address per host be used, preferably an alias at your site so that it can be updated without having to change the alias on kas. Let's see if we can get things organized! If a list like this already exists or if someone else wants to organize it, let me know. I'm a ways off the internet so I'm not the optimal choice for a mail list exploder... -Rob -- Rob Healey rhealey@digibd.com Digi International (DigiBoard) Eden Prairie, MN (612) 943-9020

C= will definitely participate; Keith already signed up. We will provide whatever help with public domain ports we can, as well as continue on our own ports. I definitely applaud your desire to avoid redundant ports. If you keep us informed as to which ports are done, we'll try to include the big ones on the next release. (Submissions for 2.0 are due basically NOW.) Also, we would like to help set up a uucp share area, as in your previous suggestion, as soon as a reasonable body of software is available. We're one step off the net, so we can offer our site until a better one is available. -- Richard Buck, (215) 344-3019, buck@amix.commodore.com (5/91)

Myself and David Kessner (owns this machine) ported and improved the X game XRobots to Beta3j. It seems to work OK under 1.1 also. Does anyone have any interest in this? It is a fun time-waster, much like MS Windows solitaire. ;) BTW: I kinda like the solitaire game that was included in the X developement section of the tape, but where can I get the AMIX-ized source so I can add a few features to it? I was unable to find it on the tape, must I contact its original author at Sun? > Richard Buck, (215) 344-3019, buck@amix.commodore.com (5/91) BTW, Richard. I believe it was you I spoke to some weeks ago when getting a subscription to Tech Notes for The Computer Room. Can you give me an updated ETA on that nefarious list of Amix programs? Yes, I've been harassing Frame again. Sigh.
