I'm getting close to firing up an RCPM/RBBS myself, and kind of wondered
about something that maybe relates to anti-Arf! actions.

Why do sysops not insist on source code only?  Why would a user/donor only
want to upload a .COM or .OBJ file?  Sysops then have problems with
copyright infringements as well as the deadly Arf!

Someone with practical experience could probably answer this.
I for one NEVER (well, not unless I absolutely have to) download a .COM or
.OBJ file - heck, too much to learn (and maybe to modify) in that .ASM or
.PAS or .BAS source!
