Mailing things out puts an incredibly heavy load on the systems surrounding the sender because of the phone calls and the fact that most mailers are not smart enough to send one copy to frobozz when you send out fifteen by way of frobozz. Anonymous ftp is great. Anonymous uucp (i.e. published and accessable uucp directories) is also good. So long as the demo doesn't require that money be sent and has significant utility (i.e. is not merely advertising) I see no reason not to post it. Jon
