What would also take some load off the net would be a REGULAR posting in
comp.binaries.* of a list of submittal guidlines AND the procedures AND
software required to unpack/hex the posting!!!

The net is all too often cluttered with requests for BinHex, StuffIt, PackIt...
and hasty articles about not being able to unbinhex 4.0 with 5.0, and "what's
a .pit file?"

I did my stuggling as a newbie - let's get some info out for those that
are new to the net so that it works for all of us.

Or shall we ignore newbies like someone suggested we ignore non-programmers??
