I'd like advocate the creation of this newsgroup.  It seems that
if you're gonna distribute programs (source or binaries) for some
machine, you need a place to talk about 'em, too.  Some people might
say "put it in comp.sys.ibm.pc,"  but when I come in on Monday, I've
got about 100 unread messages in there.  If I spent the time necessary
to weed through all that stuff, I'd never get to talk.bizarre :-)
And if you've been watching comp.binaries.ibm.pc lately, you know that
80% of the stuff that's been on it really belongs in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d.  

So get your act together and vote YES.
