Someone mentioned that they have already converted a number of C sources
to Action!.  Are any of these programs useful?  Would a general posting
(or an upload to the info-atari archives) be appropriate?  Does ANYONE
have any interesting/useful 8-bit software that is PD distributable?

	I have a collection of PD programs in Action, primarily from 3 sources:

-The bbs that Clint Parker (author of Action) maintained until last Fall.
-The bbs that OSS (marketer of Action et al) sometimes maintains.
-A few things that I adapted or wrote.

There are various utilities, including a good UNIX terminal with termcap,
examples of how to make the Atari do various things with graphics etc.,
nothing significant in complete games.
I am quite willing to upload all of this, if it isn't much hassle to
distribute or post or archive or whatever. I hesitate to post it
because it would make a lot of traffic on the net and would expire soon
anyway. I have no idea whether some of it is the archives, because I don't
know how to access that or add to it. (Where does one learn that?)
One program, Palevich's VT52 emulator + kermit, was once mentioned as if
it was posted or archived, for example.

How Public Domain can programs ever be that are translations of
copyrighted magazine programs, or of UNIX C utilities? Not much, I
fear.
