My mind is reeling... my worldview is shattered...  Come on.  I must THINK!
I must recover my sanity...  Ah, better.  Now let me get this straight.  You
posted a MS-DOS binary to comp.unix.programmer?  This is a bit hard to
swallow.  There is a wonderful newsgroups called comp.binaries.ibm.pc which
is intended solely for people like you.  It might have been acceptable to
post _source_ to your program (to comp.sources.unix) - but you don't want to
share the source.  This seems to be a rather unwarranted dose of paranoia.
Few will miss it, and even fewer would be tempted to steal it.  Minus all
the bells and whistles and shell escapes, it is simply "od."

Please restrain yourself in future.
