If this is so, why not upload them to your usenet site, uuencode them, and post them to this newsgroup? Yes this does require that both you and anyone wishing to extract the program have some method of binary file transfer, access to uudecode/uuencode and perhaps a lib routine to allow combining multiple files for easy transfer, but most of the people reading this newsgroup should either have these tools or have friends who have them. We had a big discussion on the creation of a binary newsgroup to go along with this discussion group, but I have a hard time remembering when the last time I saw a program posted for the Commodore (I believe the defeat of the binary newsgroup was deserved). I have since moved from the C64 to a PC/AT clone, but am still interested in this newsgroup (I like the C64, I still have a C64, but it is used mostly for games now and for entertain my 2 year old). Is anyone else out there interested in seeing programs posted? Can the C64 Kermit be legally posted to Usenet? Comments?
