Yes, I'd be VERY interested in such a program.  Don't know where you'd post
it, although if you can look at a list of newsgroups (the file .newsrc in your
main directory, usually) you can probably puzzle it out.   I'd say it would
depend somewhat on the nature and size of the posting: source vs. binary, and
how long (a judgement call).  Suggested search pattern:

  Short sources:  comp.sys.atari.8bit  and  comp.sys.ibm-pc (check this name)

  Long sources:  comp.sources.misc  (check this name, there should be SOMETHING
                                     LIKE this available)

  Binaries:      your guess is as good as mine; depends a lot on how you plan
                 to encode it for posting; if it's short, of course, see 
                 "short sources" above!  

Hope this helps; I'd really like to see this program.  If all else fails, 
e-mail me a copy at the address below, please.
