Well... for all intents and purposes, I guess I'm caught up in telling you folks out there about the new files on mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.165.34.. note the NEW ip number, the old one still works, as well, tho..). Keep sending files into the "incoming" folder, I'll try to add them as fast as you send 'em. And, as always.. if you have any comments or ideas, please let me know asap.. thanks..
