Complied code is always inferior to source, and I never distribute it.

My system has my own customizations that have a high likelyhood of interaction
with packages like uucp, so there is a good chance that a uucp set up for a
vanila osk system would work sub-optimaly.

From what I have seen and heard of TOPS, they make different changes, and much
of their software won't work without those changes.  Because of my disagreement
with the copyright on it, I will not be installing any TOPS software requiring
"getinfo".  (The TOPS authors and I have some fundamental disagreements which
have been discussed at length in comp.os.os9.  As with most such discussions,
noone changed their mind.)

I will not install any free software I do not have source to.
