I concur and support everything Keith has said in with regard to the
posting of binaries.  In addition to that, even CP/Mers aren't all
going to want the Centepede program for the Osborne-1 or whatever,
whereas the Osborne-1 people may think that's just dandy.

One good alternative that Keith is so nice to slave over is his Royal
Oak CP/M BBS - you can dial-in and up or download to this board at
no charge but the phone call; furthermore this makes it available
to the wider audience of the net(s) and Genie if warranted.

Of course if you'd like to get hexalated files circulated through the
INFO-CPM audience one alternative might be to make an announcement in
INFO-CPM that you have prepared a package for net distribution, and if
someone on the INFO-CPM list desires it via net mail they could send a
request to so-and-so directly (*not* on INFO-CPM) to receive a copy of
the package non-FTP from the originator, and that way it's between just
the people who want it.  Would such announcements be welcomed here Keith ?
