comp.sources.bugs: Bug fixes to systems and applications

comp.sources.games: Source code to games, some of which run on Unix

comp.sources.misc: Miscellaneous source code, some of which runs on Unix

comp.sources.reviewed: Peer reviewed source code, some of which runs on Unix

comp.sources.sun: Third-party source code for Sun systems

comp.sources.unix: Third-party source code for Unix systems

comp.sources.x: Source code related to the X Windowing System

net.v7bugs: Bug fixes for 7th Edition Unix

A list of comp.unix newsgroups.
