Of the replies I've had so far, the majority of people would like to see more binaries, notably from SID, but preferably in a dedicated group rather than here in comp.sys.acorn. I'm not going to quote numbers with a CFD/CFV pending. Tiggr's CFD/CFV will be appearing soon, and I'll wait until the decision is known before starting to post binaries here or elsewhere. I feel strongly that a binaries group should be moderated to ensure that postings are desktop-friendly where applicable, of a certain standard, and don't do anything nasty to the machine (let alone containing (shhhh!) viruses). I have volunteered to moderate the group initially since I expect that I'll be contributing a steady stream of things to it anyway. A number of people also mentioned that they still find the old mail server access useful, so rest assured that posting binaries here is not going to be a replacement for the mail server. Alan
