:-)Now speak for YOURSELF!

:-)I don't mean to flame, but I have ftp access and I only check cica
:-)every week or so -- I don't have enough time or need to check daily.  
:-)I don't think that UNIX command a)is particularly rememberable for
:-)everyone (OK, I could make it into a script, but I'm not sure how to
:-)do so.), and b)isn't useful if there have been more than 10 new
:-)downloads!  

:-)If you, as the cica administrator (I believe you are, right?) believe
:-)that putting together an update index every time you make changes to
:-)the INDEX (simply listing the changes, perhaps) would be a pain in the
:-)butt, then say so.  Personally, I feel that it would benefit a lot
:-)more people than you seem to think.

Here here! A lot people who use this newsgroup are actually WINDOWS users
rather than UNIX users.

Echoing again: If it can be done easily, would you please do it.
			   If not, fine. Don't. We still love you for making this
				service available to us. :-)
