The gzip idea sounds like a cleaner solution than introducing an entire new application like Squash. I have no problem contributing $20 for a new public domain drive, but should I contribute to all public domain sites (eg: sonata, cs, nova)? Or are we really talking about "retiring" the other sites to "backup status" and making sonata the "official" Next archive. From my point of view it WOULD be nice to know that all Next public domain stuff exists in at least one "official" place. The other sites could be "backups" of important or frequently used items I guess. Assuming the answer to the above is yes, I suggest someone volunteer to keep a list of people willing to send in money to sonata (say $20). When the total reaches $2000, everyone is asked to send in their checks ASAP. (Waiting like that prevents people from sending their money to a doomed enterprise.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Colello Carnegie Institution, Department of Plant Biology Stanford University gcolello@biosphere.stanford.edu (NeXT mail OK)
