Public Domain EMACS available from GNU Project

[Mark Horton]

While GNU is a Good Thing, and Usenet is a good way to distribute it,
net.sources.gnu is not the right answer.

For one thing, there is only the one piece of code, the EMACS, that
is ready to go out.  My impression is that pieces of GNU will be
slow in coming and well separated.

For another thing, anything that is 1 MB is going to fill up half
the disks on Usenet if it's just posted ala net.sources.  It's going
to have to be put out a bit at a time.

I think that for GNU EMACS, mod.sources is the right place.

If there is going to be a steady flow of GNU, a moderated newsgroup
with one person responsible for putting it out at a pace that the
net can handle is probably a good idea.
