Hi Alan

I think the file libs are basically from the "good old days" when AOL
was an excellent BBS which also provided internet connection.  Now as
we all know, it is just an ISP (no one visits the BBS... ) why it
should bother with updating it?

Besides, when you have access to many many ftp sites around the world,
why would you choose to use ftp.asiaonline.net?  It's not an easy task
to keep it up-to-date and AOL doesn't need to since its primary
business is to provide internet connections, not a BBS.  Visit mine if
you wish, it is very up-to-date :)  

Logon 2332-3400 and see for yourself.
