Hey alright!

This would be very cool.  Even if the general c.o.m.d community doesn't
think
this would be appropriate, I'll help.  Hey, since they're so interested
in the
DJGPP mailing list, why don't we send them a UUEncoded copy of DJGPP.
When was the last time it took you 30 minutes to check your mail?

OTOH, I seem to remember hearing something about unsolicited e-mail
being illegal.  Of course, then we just have to actually respond to their
message, and it becomes solicited. 

"Since you were generous enough to provide me with this wonderful offer,
I'm
 going to try to make it up to you by sending you this _free_ compiler!"
