   - Columns are a real pain for an automatic listing script -- I have

   humans, not quite so useful for scripts.

That would be Phil Karn's KA9Q.  It also confuses Andy Norman's ange-ftp
package for GNU Emacs.

   One possibility is for (Unix) sites to run
   	ls -lR | ftpfilter -l | compress > FILES.Z

That would be an excellent idea.  Maybe someone should write an RFC on
archive-site management.  That way, a site could say "we're RFCXXXX
compliant", and automated tools could deal with it accordingly.

I am leaving the employ of Clarkson as of June 30.  Hopefully this email
address will remain.  If it doesn't, use nelson@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
