Please post binaries to comp.sys.binaries or whatever it is and not to comp.windows.ms. Then how about a announcement to comp.windows.ms that so-and-so binaries are now available. That way people who regularly peruse the binaries will see all sorts of goodies and be happy, People who have low/expensive bandwidth won't waste alot of time and money uploading binaries which they have no use for or interest in, and those who need access to windows binaries thru News will be informed about all of those neat binaries and can go pick them up whenever they want. ps: Someone who desires binaries posted to comp.windows.ms said something like 'I dont want to waste alot of time looking thru all of the binaries in ...binaries... to find a few for windows'. Well alot of the rest of us dont want to waste alot of time looking thru all of the binaries in comp.windows.ms to find news and discussions. Mark k
