Please post the source.  A few people don't have Turbo Pascal, but EVERYONE
has a friend who has it.  The same is true for programs written in C.

Some people might like binaries posted too for their convenience, but others
cannot (due to company policy) or will not (due to their own) allow binaries
into their systems, except commercial products from major vendors.

The reason binaries became popular is not that the world prefers them, but 
that some programmers are either too ashamed of their code to let anyone else 
see it, or have the silly idea that it will be commercially valuable someday.
