Summary: I've got a VMS binary and don't know where to put it Xref: mnetor comp.sources.d:1013 comp.os.vms:1823 Well, I've been handed a dilemma. I have been holding on to a TEX DVI file previewer for VMS pending response from its author; apparently my mail (or his) got eaten by a mailer black hole. The dilemma? It's an atob'ed BINARY. Question: Where should I put this? There isn't a VMS binaries newsgroup; and I suspect I'll be in deep sh*t with Spaf if I pull another newgroup without following the "established" rules. Besides which, something tells me that VMS binaries aren't exactly common Usenet fare. Any suggestions? Can I slap this into .sources.misc just this once without upsetting too many people? Should I put it in comp.os.vms? Other suggestions? HELP!!! Thanks in advance. -- Brandon S.
