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?  Flames?
