Well, for those of you stuck fighting those arcane unix news-readers,
I finally found out how to post NEW messages here.

Basically, you mail your message to comp-sys-apple2@ucbvax.berkeley.edu

For Binscii files, download the file to your unix account, then
type this: mail comp-binaries-apple2@ucbvax.berkeley.edu < filename

This is much more accurate than trying to ASCII send the file to the
screen (like I was trying to do).

Here is a summary on the subject:

Just a quick update for those of you who want to post all those
wonderful Binscii files from your unix site.

You may have noticed that there was no way to include a SUBJECT LINE
for your file postings.  Well, here's what to do:

(1) To post messages to comp.sys.apple2:
    From your unix prompt (probably a %), just type:
          mail comp-sys-apple2@ucbvax.berkeley.edu
    
    It should then prompt you for a Subject header. Go ahead and
    enter your subject, and then press return.  It should then put
    you into a mail editor.   to finish your letter, type a CTRL-D
    or whatever your unix expects.

(2) To post a Binscii file to comp.binaries.apple2:
    From your unix prompt (probably a %), just type:
          mail -s "subject matter" comp-binaries-apple2@ucbvax.berkeley.edu < filename

    This will automatically put your subject heading into the correct
    place when it posts your Binscii file.  Don't worry if you type over the line (like above), it should still realize what you want to do.

Hope that helps some of you.
