I have been working on a networking Package that is very portable,
uses TCL/TK and a C appl. I develop it on Linux (and Windows) and
I think it might be of interest to those reading this newsgroup.
I plan on releasing a Lite (free-ware) and commercial version.
What is the policy on making announcements here? Can I describe
the package and/or post a URL?
Any comments or suggestions would be most appreciated.
thanks

I am not sure what the "official" policy is, but there is a group called
comp.os.linux.announce.
All they publish is announcements and most of them deal with new software.
If the product
is not free, they seem to put the word COMMERCIAL at the gebinning of the
title.
Cheers,
Andy

Ask for permission from the maintainer of the NNTP site you want to get
your feed from. Also, if you would end up generating a lot of traffic
on congested network links it might be inadvisable to proceed anyway.
If "your machine" is actually owned by your school (or bought from a
research grant), you should have a case for asking your school to start
taking the relevant comp.sys.* groups. I'm a little surprised that of
all groups they would drop something in comp.sys.* (except by accident),
but anything is possible. And even if "your machine" is your private PC,
I'd still try to persuade your local NNTP server to carry the groups
you are looking for---especially since they aren't under alt.*.
