Nearly everyone has ftp-access nowadays (right?) so sending binaries to all the sites is hardly defendable IMO. Probably the sources-newsgroup can be deleted too -- the occasional sources that are made available could be sent to c.s.a.st or ...tech Would raise the S/N level in c.s.a.st at least... And now we're at it: how about a group comp.sys.atari.flames ??? So we can get back to the regular interesting stuff in c.s.a.st... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra hjv@phil.ruu.nl * How can I save my dreams Dept. of Philosophy * in the nightmare, in the flood University of Utrecht * But I try.
