What is alt.sources for?
The alt.sources newsgroup is intended to be a repository for
source-code of all sorts that people wish to distribute and share with
other people.
There are no restrictions on the type of source code you can post
here -- any machine, any language, any purpose.
A common reason to post to alt.sources is when you are posting a
useful bit of source code to some other newsgroup, and you think that
it might prove useful to other people in the future, in which case you
can cross-post it here.
Please note that alt.sources IS NOT for requests for source code; the
alt.sources.wanted newsgroup is for that. Alt.sources IS NOT for
comments and discussion about source code, even source code posted in
alt.sources; the alt.sources.d newsgroup is for that.
Only source code should be posted to alt.sources.
