Welcome to comp.sources.x.  This group is intended for software that
runs only on X.  I have talked with the moderators of comp.sources.unix
and comp.sources.games and we agree that if the software is of
interest to people that don't use X it should be posted to one
of those groups.  If I determine that a posting should be handled
in another group, I will forward it to the moderator and inform
the poster.

I want to set a few editorial guidelines.
1. Postings must contain source code.
2. Postings must include a Makefile and a man page.
3. Postings should include an Imakefile.
4. Postings should be in shar(shell archive) format.

I am using the same software as Rick Salz to do these postings so
the headers(includeing Archive-name) should be the same.

Here is the information on the current archive sites.  Some of it
is incomplete.  I will make more information available in the
future.  If you have questions please send them to both me and
the archive adminstrator.
