UNIX C and shell scripts, VMS C and shell scripts, Perl

bitmaps, FORTRAN, Amiga C, standalone man pages ... Many/most
of these have no POSIX applicability; let's not exclude 90% of
reality from the comp.sources."new-thang"
Posix excludes little of what you mention; it's a broad umbrella, or
soon will be. As for the rest, surely X applications should be posted
in comp.sources.x? And surely Amiga-specific stuff should be posted in
comp.sources.amiga, and similarly for other vendor-specific stuff like
assembler?
Will comp.sources.reviewed publish programs that don't conform to Posix
but could easily be made to? I hope not -- it'd mean the reviewers
weren't doing their job.
