Summary: I've got a VMS binary and don't know where to put it
Xref: mnetor comp.sources.d:1013 comp.os.vms:1823

Well, I've been handed a dilemma.  I have been holding on to a TEX DVI file
previewer for VMS pending response from its author; apparently my mail (or
his) got eaten by a mailer black hole.  The dilemma?  It's an atob'ed BINARY.

Question:  Where should I put this?  There isn't a VMS binaries newsgroup;
and I suspect I'll be in deep sh*t with Spaf if I pull another newgroup
without following the "established" rules.  Besides which, something tells me
that VMS binaries aren't exactly common Usenet fare.

Any suggestions?  Can I slap this into .sources.misc just this once without
upsetting too many people?  Should I put it in comp.os.vms?  Other suggestions?
HELP!!!

Thanks in advance.
