There are other ways of distributing binaries other than a mailing list. I am the one who must wade through all the mailer rejections that are caused by mailing list recipients exceeding their alloted disk space and by angry system administrators who have deliberate message size limits because they have to PAY for every byte that they receive. The Info-Cpm mailing list handler presently has a limit of about 50k. If binary postings start I will ask the system administrator to reduce it to 10k. I don't have the time to read all the rejections. Instead of talking about posting binaries perhaps a discussion should be started about a file server for CsNet and Usenet. There are a number of hosts that are on both the Arpanet and one of those two nets. --Keith Petersen
