I still can't post files to comp.binaries.ibm.pc
How does one do it? If we are to have a board to post
utilities to, wouldn't it be nice to let people know how?
I have some utilities that people have asked for and have
no way to post them so there won't be any gripes......

You must mail them to the moderator, who this week is Dick Flanagan ;-), and he will post them for you. The precise reason that you can't and shouldn't post binaries is that enough other people griped that binaries were being posted by everyone to force the group to be moderated. Moderated groups can't be posted to, except by the moderator. And binaries shouldn't be posted anyplace other than the correct binary group. Also, this is NOT a bulletin board. With a bulletin board, what you post, in general, does not travel all over the world at great expense. In addition, everyone sees the result simultaneously, so duplicated effort is less likely. With abUSENET this is not quite the case. As for telling people how to post, may I suggest you read the monthly postings in news.announce.newuser? I believe they will explain all of this to you. - John. -- The Beach Bum Big "D" Home for Wayward Hackers UUCP: ...!killer!rpp386!jfh jfh@rpp386.uucp :SMAILERS "You are in a twisty little maze of UUCP connections, all alike" -- fortune
