I have a C compiler, but I only have 512K of mem, so it's practically
worthless to me. But wait! It's Manx C. What if some bozo posts sources
in Lattice C or Draco or (horror of horrors) FORTH???

Binaries, for the reason above.

Source, of course. There are two problems, though. Most sources are not very
educational. And of course, there is the assumption that I want to be
educated. I want the groups cause I want good free software, not because I
want to be educated about Amiga programming.

So there's an opposing viewpoint.
