- Only problem is that this file seems *exactly* the same as the .src01. file.
- I noticed this when I recently installed the bin01 src01 and etc01
- distributions on my 486DX33 notebook and casually started to glance through
- these manifests out of interest. I just looked on agate and sure enough,
- both src01 and etc01 manifests are still identical in size. It would be
- nice if some kind soul could put up the correct manifest.

- As a longtime Unix user (BSD2.9 on 11/34, BSD4.2 on Vax 11/730, Sunos 4.x on
- 4/110, 1+ and IPC), I must heartily congratulate William and Lynne Jolitz and
- all others concerned (Terry's patchkit is superb) on a marvellous package.
- It has been up on my notebook for four days now and is very impressive.
- I've ported the InfoZip stuff (zip19, unzip50) and written two shell scripts
- (taz and untaz) which allow me to save a lot of space by storing stuff as
- zipped tarfiles. For example othersrc/contrib (isode and tcpdump) which I
- will not look at for some time, compresses from over 13 meg to just over 3.

- Cheers, Gary.
