[alt.sources.amiga] Binaries or sources here?

gnu@hoptoad.uucp (John Gilmore) (10/22/89)

Isn't this group for sources?  If people want binaries here, I'll
have to stop passing it...since I have no use for Amiga binaries.

Normally it is for sources.  There have been a few binaries only while there
was a bottleneck in comp.binaries.amiga.  Things appear to be returning to
a flow there again.

	In general this is true, but this particular
	binary is in service of further source distribution
	for some systems. I think it's a valid exception.

	Hopefully source will become available so it can be
	made available for Unix etc...
