  I noticed that  sonata.cc.purdue.edu and nova.cc.purdue.edu  have almost
exactly the same NeXT archive files, with a few differences here and there.
Since these two sites are the major archive spots, why not consolidate
the files into one site?   If that is too much traffic for one site,
then why not make the two sites have the identical files so one does not
have to search both sites?  It is confusing the way it is set up right now.

Maybe there could be four or five central sites set up across the US (or world)
so that everyone knows where to look for NeXT stuff.  I realize this may be 
hard to do, however, so what do YOU think?  I feel that in the near future
there will be a huge flux of NeXT related software that will be written, and
it would be nice to have a convienent "filing" system on the internet.
