Roger is right, it's considered very rude to post binaries to a non- binary group. One problem with it, aside from slow access, is that many news servers have a quota set per group, and in a non-binary group it's set pretty low (text is small, after all). One binary can, then, displace dozens or hundreds of text messages, because there isn't room for them. Dave Hinz
