It is considered impolite to post sources or binaries to a discussion group.
That led to my creating comp.binaries.ibm.pc (since passed on to others)
because binaries weren't any more welcome in comp.sources.misc.

Flame all you want, but *existing* precedents are against you.  If anything,
the crime committed was posting it to the Forth group as well as alt.sources.

And in any case, I am glad to see the TILE distribution -- and no, I do not
read comp.lang.forth.
