I can not be silent any longer.  Until there is a separate news group
for MS-Windows specific binaries, I have no problem with this.
Our site, like many others, can not (or at least, we are not allowed
to) FTP binary files, and comp.binaries.ibm.pc seems far too general.

So:

What would it take to start a MS-Windows specific binary group?

(Also, I would prefer if .EXE/.COM files were not ZIP'ed, to
remove one additional chance for corruption.  Personal opinion...)
