Send binaries to: > ibmpc-binaries%cirrusl@oliveb.ATC.olivetti.com Not to mention that binaries posted to non-moderated newsgroups may be infected with nasties, may not be PD/Shareware/Freeware/EtcWare, may not work, or may not be of interest to many people. The practice of posting binary stuff to discussion groups may seem like a neato way to bypass the delay and hassle of waiting for a moderator to approve and post the sucker, but those of you who were around when c.b.i.p was unmoderated may also recall that the aforementioned difficulties almost got the newsgroup shut down. Send binaries to Rahul, wait for them to appear in c.b.i.p, and don't post binaries here (or to other unmoderated discussion groups). --Jeff Hartung-- Disclaimer: My opinions only, etc., etc., BLAH!
