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.
