The basic presumption here is that the people who asked me to e-mail them
UUEncoded copies of things (which is not very convenient for me, in any
number of ways) are those who can _not_ FTP, and do _not_ have access to
AOL.  UUCP or BITnet users in Europe, in particular.  All requests for the 
files I have received thus far have been from users in Europe.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to begin working toward a hierarchy now,
so that it would be widely tested, used, and available by the time v2.0
becomes available.
