OK, you don't want binaries in net.sources 'cause YOU can't use them on your Froboz 6502 PC? Well, FINE! In that case... how about creating net.binaries (net.sources.binary?) for us low-lifes who DO have a use for such things and we'll get out of everybody's way... keith ericson at teklabs

Keith, We didn't object to posting binaries on the net for common non-unix machines ... we just objected to net.sources (or any subtree). We did however PREFER source. There is a place for things of interest to certain PC owners .. net.micro.Froboz or what ever ... if the group for your machine is missing ... lobby for it's creation. I would like to see more such sharing ... but keep it in it's place. Many of us are to tight on disk space and tape archive to store in net.sources and archive what should be in net.micro.* and thus expireable and archivable by machine type. John Bass
