I have used quite a few of the binaries posted here and have no objection to
this continuing but I can appreciate the concern of those who don't want to
pay to receive large files they don't want. One obvious alternative is to
post only a description of the programs to the group and for people to
request the stuff from the author if they want it.

Perhaps our friend Albert in Newcastle could comment on how up to date and
complete the archive there is?

On the subject of if/when to scrap eunet.micro.acorn, is there no established
usenet practice in such cases?
