This second solution would be ideal, and at your suggestion I have sent an email to ftp-master@freebsd.org.

As they are created, they are sent by email to those who have subscribed to the various ctm-* lists. So if the ftp site is a day or so behind, that is not so much of a problem. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
