I would vote for creating separate news groups for OS/2 sources and binaries. Of course many of the programs posted here in the last time were ports of well-known Unix programs (although they are not STANDARD unix programs, they are PD, or did you ever hear of a Unix coming with MicroEMACS or GNU awk included ?). But some ports were not as easy as someone could expect (MicroEMACS :-) and many OS/2 users may not have access even to the Unix sources. How could creation of these new newsgroups be initiated ? If someone could do it (perhaps somone sitting in Amerika and not in old Europe) I think he should do so. Kai Uwe Rommel Munich rommel@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de
