There seems to be general agreement to my suggestion for a binaries group.
However, it is unlikely that we can establish a new group without being able to
demonstrate a need. I also believe that no one will have the time to act as
moderator to check all the programs posted. Let the user beware.

I suggest we open up this group to binaries for a trial period to see whether an
unmoderated process will work. Hopefully those operating Windows archives will
be able to add to their stocks by extracting the programs.
