However the copies in the FTP area are also the primary copies for use by our research group. Accordingly, I have left the directories as they were, but added a compressed tarfile of each one. While a little wasteful of space, I hope this is a fair compromise. See the subdirectory "00-Tarfiles". This arrangement may change if people complain. John.
