Thanks.  I did get trrntzip to work yesterday from the source files, 
although there was a lot of trial and error that I'm not sure I can 
reproduce. :)  (SourceForge doesn't like wget, so I ended up downloading 
through a browser in Windows.)  So I'll keep your instructions for the next 
time I have to rebuild the server.

While I understand the purpose of normalizing the dates, the site build 
script makes sure that the dates don't change unless there was an actual 
update to the metamath program.  It's just that zip doesn't produce a 
stable .zip file even if the contents are exactly the same with exactly the 
same date/time stamps.

The question is, are dates important?  If they are, an alternate method is 
for me to modify the script to test for any file changes, and if none don't 
regenerate the .zip file but reuse the old one.
