- If anyone is curious about seeing what's on the list, I edited the
- ls-lR listing from 1M down to 300k so that you can see what's on the
- disk without going old in the process. I'm happy to e-mail it to
- any interested parties. It ought to show up on sonata eventually,
- too. (What did I edit out? .lproj, .app, .nib, and help directories; basically
- stuff that isn't particularly interesting, and READMEs, which are everywhere.)
