This is a test and an annoucement.  The MacApp3Tech$<->comp.sys.mac.oop.macapp3
gateway should be fully operational.  

Messages to the AppleLink group mailing list MacApp3Tech$ have been 
automatically fed to the Usenet newsgroup comp.sys.mac.oop.macapp3 for a 
couple of weeks now.  We did have a problem with half the message never
getting out but that has been fixed.  (It was caused by a local newsfeed with
the same information.  Depending on timing, only one of the two newsgroups
got the message and the other dropped it because it was a duplicate.)

I think we have the Usenet to AppleLink gateway working now and as of last
night it should be automatic.  All Usenet messages, that didn't come from 
AppleLink, are automatically sent to MacApp3Tech$ on Applelink so the rest 
of the readers can see them.  AppleLink users will not see much difference
between those messages that were sent directly to the mailing list from the
Internet and those that went through the Usenet system.

So far, most (90%) of the messages are coming from AppleLink.  MacApp3Tech$
is now readable on tens of thousands of hosts around the world that participate
in Usenet.  

Thanks to John Werner for organizing all the comp.sys.mac.oop.macapp3 effort.
Thanks to Chuq Von Rospach for doing the legwork inside of Apple.

Now we return to our regularly scheduled MacApp discussions.
