	Now that I've got my developer's kit (after less than 4 weeks over
the Christmas break!) my mind is starting to turn to all that public
domain C software out there. Only trouble is, I don't know where it is.
Do I have to subscribe to Compuserve (and pay money!) to obtain such
software? 
	It's seems odd to me that net.micro.amiga has so many C programs on
it, while there is very little on net.micro.atari. Is this because of
qualms of conscience on the part of ST programmers (<-- this is a term
formerly used to describe "developers"), while Amiga programmers let
their passions overtake them? Why is it that net.micro.atari consists
almost entirely of hardware discussions and anti-Amiga rhetoric, while
"they" spend most of their time talking about software? Does this
indicate that ST discussion is going on elsewhere? If so, does anyone have
a comprehensive list of the forums for ST software discussion and
communication of public domain stuff? If so, I think this information
should be posted for the benefit of those who would like to escape the
soul searching of this newsgroup and get stuck into the programming side
of things. Thanks in advance, ............ak.
