>Major update! Can convert .OBJ, .LIB and any other file into .COFF!

I am (by no means) one to stifle creativity, ingenuity, productivity,
or anything along those lines, but is it a good idea to send uuencoded
binaries to the entire list?  I would think that the list server would
tend to get bogged down trying to send a nearly 100k message to every 
user on the list.

How about uploading files to common djgpp ftp sites making an announcement
as to its whereabouts?

OR

How about a second mailing list just for binaries?  That way, those who
want new binaries *NOW* can subscribe to the list and those who don't
need the binaries can just read the small announcement message?
