I don't buy this. The IBM-PC is certainly no more of a computer (less of a
micro) than the Mac, and there have been plenty of excellent sources in
Turbo Pascal, 'C', and even Basic posted for it. There have also been a
few binaries (ced.com.uu springs to mind), but at least the binaries have
been uuencoded and uuencode source for UNIX has been posted to net.sources.
If the IBM-PC can do it, why *NOT* the Mac?
