Sorry, but this is a MINIX group, not a general PC group.  EVERY
Minix system comes with a C compiler.

Suggest that we maintain two separate software distribution
channels, probably newsgroups (comp.sources.minix ?)  One reserved
for source code, the other for binaries.  I, for one, will not
carry the binaries group, but if other people want it, I won't
prevent them from doing it.
