I concur and support everything Keith has said in with regard to the posting of binaries. In addition to that, even CP/Mers aren't all going to want the Centepede program for the Osborne-1 or whatever, whereas the Osborne-1 people may think that's just dandy. One good alternative that Keith is so nice to slave over is his Royal Oak CP/M BBS - you can dial-in and up or download to this board at no charge but the phone call; furthermore this makes it available to the wider audience of the net(s) and Genie if warranted. Of course if you'd like to get hexalated files circulated through the INFO-CPM audience one alternative might be to make an announcement in INFO-CPM that you have prepared a package for net distribution, and if someone on the INFO-CPM list desires it via net mail they could send a request to so-and-so directly (*not* on INFO-CPM) to receive a copy of the package non-FTP from the originator, and that way it's between just the people who want it. Would such announcements be welcomed here Keith ? rcs
