How exactly do I do that? Should the UUencoded file be posted to
comp.binaries.atari.st, or should it be mailed to some special address?
And will they accept the file "as is" or should the source code be filtered
away?

It sounds like a good idea, though. But since I'm unsure about how to do
it, and since I'm leaving for summer vacation after tomorrow, I would be
grateful if somebody would volounteer to do the job.
