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.
