:Not for source, and that's the irony.  All that hex code that is posted

:exists source code somewhere.  There aren't very many wizards
:programming in hex!  Yet, people are chafing at the bit to get hex code

there is no rule stating that only executeable files may be posted to 
comp.binaries.apple2    All we ask is that files posted to it be in some
kind of executioner file...   This executioner file may be a singl;e file,
a bunch of files archived using the binary II format, or a compressed
version of either.  The archive format is ideal for bundling source and
executeable together in one file...

let's just hope the approve the newsgroup...
