Please do *NOT* post binary data to non binary discussion groups.
It is considered to be *rude*. Only newsgroups with "binary" in the
newsgroup name are suitable for that. It's either that or use e-mail
to send it directly to interested persons.

Tip: if you want to show source code in comp.lang.c simple paste
the code into your posting (as normal readable text). Don't use
attachements and don't use binaries. But *please* try to keep it
as short as possible to illustrate your point. Not many of us have
the time to wade through large pieces of code.

Posting binaries to discussion newsgroup is a violation of netiquette and is
highly antisocial. Posting a 12000 line binary is ridiculous. Please cancel
this article as a matter of urgency. If you have a small program to post
(maybe up to 100 lines or so) do so by importing the text directly into
your article. For large programs upload it on an ftp site or Web page
and post a pointer to it.
