- Since this is vmsnet.sources.games, maybe you should be posting the sources?
- Many sites don't run games for which they have no sources, and folks with
- privileged accounts shouldn't. Besides, the sources are generally smaller
- than uuencoded images, and are much more interesting to look at. They also
- don't have VMS version dependency problems with run-time libraries. I'd say
- post the sources if you have them; otherwise, some other method of distribution
- would be better suited for the images. This isn't the place for them. (Of
- course, this is just my opinion. Perhaps others prefer only images?)

- Merry Christmas, everyone!
