Could such a measure be announced 24 to 48 hours in advance, and ideally be complemented by a script that can be used for renaming the files on the local tree? Otherwise folks like me will have to refetch about 110 Megabytes of */binary/* stuff. Not that much fun over a phone line. Some people even have to pay for every bytes they get through their phone. -- Dirk Eddelb|ttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
