Hey, I didn't get the original posting...  But what gives me the right to
say binaries shouldn't be posted is a couple things.  First, I'm a member
of this list.  Second, I'm a semi-prominant programmer for the calculator.
Third, it is often I answer people's questions on this list.  Fourth, it is
a general assumption not to post binaries onto a list unless it is made
explicitly for that purpose.
