Hello to all potential readers of the newly created comp.sources.3b1, and a word of "pre-thanks" to all of you who will be submitting programs to be posted. As most of you have probably noticed, the newsgroup has been created. I am still trying to get all of the software set up here to handle the postings so it will probably be about a week before anything appears in the newsgroup. So far I have received three programs that will be posted as soon as everything gets set up, plus one misdirected posting which was returned to the author. I intend to keep the turnaround on the postings to as short a time as possible and to help guarantee that I will be having at least one co-moderator assisting me. By the way, if you sent me mail offering to work as co-moderator and you are still willing to do it please send me another mail message. It seems I had a slight mishap with my mail processing and accidentally removed the wrong mailbox. I have made arrangements for two archive sites initially and I would welcome anyone else who wants to volunteer the use of their disk space. The two archive sites that I have set up are uunet and osu-cis. I will be posting complete details in an informational posting once I get things all set up here. And finally, just to whet your appetite, here is a listing of the subject lines from the postings that I have received so far: Merlin J Mathesius xtclient: use a 3b1 as a layers terminal - Part 1 of 4 Jeffery A Buhrt My afio for even better floppy backups.
