Huh??? I did't know that it was that hard to contact me...

Anyway, I'm in the middle of changing jobs, but I WILL be moderating
comp.sources.atari soon as I get News up at my new employer. That
will be by Thanksgiving.

In the meantime, send your sources, binaries (and your kids if you can...)
to:

UUCP:
allegra \
amd \
decvax!bbncca \
harvard \
cca + ! ima ! pbear ! peterb
cbosgd /
wjh12 /
ihnp4 /
yale /

This is my machine at home, so I'll save everything over the next few
weeks and then when the group is formed, I'll start posting.

Please include a well known return path in the message so I can get
a reply to you. I will consider all entries and send back a message
either accepting the stuff, or a reject message with a suggestion for
changes. Please keep the messages below 65K since my mail connection
limits messages to that length. I don't want to overload the network.

I'm assuming that I will be flooded with a ton of sources, so
PLEASE: if you have to break up a submission, put section numbers on the
pieces. I can accept compressed and uuencoded binaries, but the compression
can only be 12 bit (compress -b12). I'm soliciting ideas for having a
compresssion scheme that is usable and doesn't need a big VAX to run.
Please mail your ideas to me.

In order to keed the netload down some, I'll be posting only about 65K
per day, so there will be a backlog.

I'll also be soliciting ideas and kind people to help with a tape archive
service, so if you have any ideas, please drop me a line.
