I was going to email this, but I think someone should say this:

Please do not post binaries to the discussion group. There is a moderated
group for binaries. The .d on the end of this newsgroup name means discussion.
The sudden appearance of a lot of large binaries here will play havoc with
some sites article expiry times and space considerations.

(now for diatribe)

Some of us believe that binaries are a second class citizen anyways. Real
programs come with source.
