Please stop the binaries.

Please publish source code and perhaps add a footnote like:

"If your C compiler no grok dis program, send me mail".

My mailbox overfloweth!!

The only exception I see is for a standard program (i.e. Elle) which had
problems compiling on standard Minix -- ast did a cross compile and posted
it.

In general, I stopped dealing with binaries on news -- I  found it too much
work to start catting together archive pieces, uudecoding,  uncompressing
and then finding the distribution was munged somewhere.  Great fun.

Minix comes with a C compiler -- use it.  

Conserve net bandwidth -- the phone bill you save may be your own.
