Perhaps they are being polite and not posting binaries to a discussion group? I suggest that all readers of comp.sys.acorn who WOULD post binaries instead post a message saying "I would have posted in the binaries group". That way we'll quickly get an idea as to whether the demand's there. If it turns out that there isn't enough demand, how about keeping eunet.micro.acorn for binaries, and leaving comp.sys.acorn for discussions? mathew. -- Mantis Consultants, Unit 56, St. John's Innovation Centre, Cambridge.
