This is a problem for many of us.  It's frustrating to know that there's a
lot of good stuff out there we can't get at.

I have to disagree with this.  My TeX collection, including fonts, macro
files, executables, dvi drivers, and source, weighs in at over 2.5 megabytes.
Most of what I have is available on CompuServe; I know people have to pay for
it, but that seems fairer than making a _lot_ of people on the Usenet pay for
something this big.  I like the sources and binaries groups a lot, but in this
particular case, as with GCC for the ST, I think it prudent to not post it.

Of course, my opinion could be wrong ... :-)
