Well, I've been handed a dilemma. I have been holding on to a TEX DVI file
previewer for VMS pending response from its author; apparently my mail (or
his) got eaten by a mailer black hole. The dilemma? It's an atob'ed BINARY.
Question: Where should I put this? There isn't a VMS binaries newsgroup;
and I suspect I'll be in deep sh*t with Spaf if I pull another newgroup
without following the "established" rules. Besides which, something tells me
that VMS binaries aren't exactly common Usenet fare.
Any suggestions? Can I slap this into .sources.misc just this once without
upsetting too many people? Should I put it in comp.os.vms? Other suggestions?
HELP!!!
Thanks in advance.

Ever since the destruction of net.sources, it has become common for people that don't want to bother with the foolishness of source moderators to post sources directly to relevant interest groups. To maximize the number of people thanking you, i suggest you crosspost to both comp.os.vms and comp.text . ------- BOB (webber@aramis.rutgers.edu ; rutgers!aramis.rutgers.edu!webber)
