I agree with Herb, I think that if anyone wants to share a
binary file with others on the list, put it on a web page &
provide a link to it in the e-mail, that way people get to
choose if they want to see it.

If you dont have a web page, give=20
[http://www.geocities.com] a try. They give space to anyone.

You all have *no* excuses!

a bit ignorant about Net usage. Forgive 'Im... I did!
