How about alt.sources.cbm, moderated by someone with time, disk and
interest; and use it for *all* cbm related programs.  A moderator
would keep the s/n ratio way down (and all the other good things)
moderators do.  An archive site would make it near perfect and
solve the problem of 50k people saying "I need a simple program in basic
that converts from PETSCII to ASCII, could you please post one?".
