Why don't you ask a local site to >send it to you on a floppy? a. It's not circumvention. Downloading binaries from "comp.binaries.ibm.pc" & other newsgroups is permitted. So far, e-mail & (a)ftp access is not. Why, I don't know. It's just not. b. About "asking a local site"...I don't know who you have in mind. I don't know anyone around here with ftp access who can get the download to a floppy. I suppose an ad in the paper's possible... certainly neither as convenient nor direct, tho. c. I haven't seen anything that describes the criteria by which programs are posted in "comp.binaries.ibm.pc" -- I don't know if/when to expect WinGIF & other interesting programs to be posted there, or in fact, in any other particular newsgroup. Typically I wait for them (I've been waiting a long time for pascal and/or c versions of an SVGA BGI to be posted); I just happen to have a particular interest in WinGIF. d. Someone's indulgence would be appreciated. -- <> Bob `Bear' Geer <> bgeer@javelin.sim.es.com <> <> Alta-holic <> speaking only for myself, one of my many tricks <> <> Salt Lake City, <> "We must strive to be more than we are, Lal." <> <> Ootah <> -- Cmdr.

If someone is going to post this, please consider restricting the distribution ('usa' or is it 'na'(?) would be a good start).
