Hear! Hear! Posting a uucoded trojan/virus to comp.sys.ibm.pc while flying
false colors would be a very simple way of trashing a *LOT* of systems, and
getting away with it. There is a newsgroup for binaries, where all of them
are tested before they are released. And why post the binary without the
source, if you wrote it yourself, and the program is pd? Aren't hackers
proud of their code anymore?

And while I've got your attention... The bbs in my signat has *lots* of C
source, and a few binaries (and all the binaries are *tested*), including
UUPC, DCP and Binkley.
