This is different than MACSERVE@PUCC, which was updated by hand last time I checked. Also, I am quite sure that it maintains a copy of every file at sumex. However, old and unpopular files at sumex are deleted in order to make room for new submissions. Perhaps this is what you were thinking of. Bill Lipa Info-Mac
