	I can't answer your question directly since it is a Mac question not an
Apple// question. I will point you to some more appropriate places
though. The first series of groups are for the Macintosh computer. You
want a newsgroup with "mac" in the name such as comp.mac.* or
comp.sys.mac.*. The other groups are the various video groups. You would
look for a binaries or binaries.d (preferred) group also containing the
name of a TV show, "movies", "anime", "multimedia", "video", or
something related. You would phrase your question in such a way it would
be on topic. Someone might point you to an FAQ which would explain what
you want to know. Alternatively they would give you a direct
explanation.

	You should lurk in the groups a while and read a few messages to see
what the group is about before posting. This will increase the chance of
getting an appropriate response to your question.
