I can see it now, hundreds of programs not posted for fear of being ridiculed... I feel this was a bit uncalled for. Often people look at sources in order to get ideas, not just to have a something they can run. A kermit source would be useful to discover the protocol without a lot of research. Often a poster may want feedback. If people become intimidated, programs may start being passed around person-to-person instead of in the public domain. (I may get burned for this, but I that a lot of news and replies on the net are tending to get childish and unprofessional lately) Darin Johnson UCSD
