I agree with what Arnaud is saying.  A friend and I (we are student
reps for NeXT) were talking about making a multimedia 'alt' group.
That would be easy to do for a NeXT-only group -- just tar, compress,
and uuencode the message, then post it.

Are there any multimedia interchange formats out there?  I noticed
some files (actually directories that appear to be files) in NeXT
version 2.0 with the extension '.rtfd' -- these are microsoft rich
text format with pictures (drawings? is that what the 'd' is for?).
Does the mac use this format?  Maybe we can be doing multimedia news
right now and move a little closer to cyberspace...
