Might I make a plea to shorten the file names on the Apple file server so
they conform to Macintosh file name length limitations? At least the 6.0.5
software! Tsk tsk. And while I'm on my soap box, how about
(a) using a restartable ftp
(b) providing macbinary as well as hqx files for those of us with binary
    ftp and slow Internet connections.
