I disagree. One virtue of a separate group is that binaries as well as
sources could be posted without arousing the ire of the net.sources folks
who don't want to archive binaries for every machine that comes along. Fact
is, there is a SEPARATE interest in msdos software, just like Mac software,
and for the most efficient use of the news by everyone, it would best be in
a separate newsgroup. The alternative is to use net.micro.* for software
postings, but doubtless someone would object to that, too.
