I don't see why we don't post sources/binaries for CP/M to the net. We seem
to have sources/binaries groups for just about everything else on the net,
and some groups, such as the Minix group (at least in its early days), had
sources posted in the discussion group itself.

It's nice that SIMTEL20 is archiving this stuff, but that site is not
readily accessible for some of us, and besides, it appears they're archiving
PC stuff, and yet we have PC groups.

I'm sure there's a lot more stuff people'd share (ex: my initial cuts at
opendir()/readdir(), and "du:filename" extensions to the Eco-C runtime
library) if there were a more convenient distribution for the smaller things
at least. Some things, such as Greg Lee's EP utilities - at 1 Megabyte, are
obviously too large to post, but surely we can handle smaller packages.

Thoughts?
