Try reading my original comment a little more carefully. I didn't say that
I didn't have alternatives or that Usenet was the best (or even a good) way
to distribute this software. I merely objected to the assumption that
everyone has access to BBSs with a wide variety of software. (Our local
User Group has a pretty good library. Of course, they get a large part of it
from either Usenet or INFO-MAC!)
