I run two boards which are oriented toward the DEC Rainbow, but I do keep 
a lot of GENERIC MS-DOS programs on-line as well.  When someone uploads
something that is either uses up too much of my disk space, or is IBM-specific,
I usually move it to a local IBM-oriented FIDO in the local DC/MD/VA FIDONET,
and post a note explaining where it now lives.  Maybe a sense of cooperation
exists only between FIDO SYSOPs?
