Try reading my original comment a little more carefully.  I didn't say that
I didn't have alternatives or that Usenet was the best (or even a good) way
to distribute this software.  I merely objected to the assumption that
everyone has access to BBSs with a wide variety of software.  (Our local
User Group has a pretty good library.  Of course, they get a large part of it
from either Usenet or INFO-MAC!)
