It's about time a group like this was started up.  Almost every .binaries group
on the net has been getting GIF, IFF, or some other format of pictures.
Program mailing lists have been distributing them.  There has been no
indication that this trend is going to decrease, so I think it's about time
to create one.

Also: if there is an archive site, it would be possible to put a generic GIF
viewer for every kind of architecture.  I've been scanning comp.binaries.ibm.pc
for GIF pictures, and have noticed about 15 different postings of GIF viewers.
