Subject: Posting sources to the list.

Hello Son (Son Huu Le), on Jun 9 you wrote:

Absolutely! This is one of the primary purposes I'm hoping this list can
serve. Discussing a programming language is always interesting, but its
much more instructive to see what you're talking about.

For small sources, up to about 250 lines or so, post as plain text when
convenient. This allows questions and general discussion about the source
to take place on the list much more easily. Try to keep everything under
80 characters per line. I think everyone here can handle that. You can
post sources with longer lines (they get that way sometimes...), but be
aware that some systems will truncate your source down to 80 characters
per line.

For larger sources, and for those involving several files, lha'ing
and UUencoding would be best. Try to keep these as small as possible.
For any UUencoding over 64K, please be very sure that *several* people
on the list are interested in seeing it, not just one or two (in that
case, mail directly), and try to break the UUencoded file up into <64K
sized chunks. There are still systems out there that will bounce or
junk messages longer than that. Do not post multi-megabyte archives
to the list. Smaller systems just can't handle them, and we do need
to be considerate of our subscribers that are receiving this list on
an A500 with an almost full 20MB hard drive.

All in all, the general rule for posting source is: be polite. :)

Norm.
