No, they won't be posted (here) in mac binary format, because binary files
won't pass through the unix news/mail system.  Or, if they do, they won't
look much like the input.  

BUT: many bulletin boards are embracing mac binary format because it is
denser than any of the ascii-fied formats and is transparent with Red
Ryder 5.0.  So, the program is still useful.
