Hi you seem to like to change your maps fairly often.  Would it be a good
Idea to get a load of unziped maps.  NFS mount the NFS server with the maps
on then give certain ppl access so they can upload a new map list.  This
would ensure you always have a new varity of maps and Paul would not have to
upload maps all the time and reconfig the map list on his own.
