What is the purpose of the announcements of software to be posted in Britain? Why are these announcements placed in comp. sys.mac? If there is no purpose other than to make non-Britishers jealous, please stop!

Phil's post claimed that the binaries would not be posted to comp.sys.mac.... how about comp.binaries.mac, then??? I **NEED** the Concertware->Studio Session file translator application that was mentioned! Is there any way these things can be shared with us "across the pond"? If not, then I second the motion: Please stop! -ken -- ========== ....... =========================================== Ken McLeod :. .: uucp: {spsd, zardoz, felix}!dhw68k!thecloud ========== :::.. ..::: InterNet: thecloud@dhw68k.cts.com //// ===========================================

Now you know how those of us in Europe feel when we see `available by anonymous FTP from xxx' on a software announcement. I guess that 99% of European users cannot easily get such software.
