I'm wondering if we should subdivide the CTM distributions. If we did that, I see no reason that the source distribution files could not be in CTM format rather than their current compressed form. >All the >nice menus for picking-and-chosing in the src tree would go away.

You gain little for the user if you do not provide the mechanism to get both a base and the update thereafter. If he has to ftp to get some past updates, he might as well get the base at the same time. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
