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.
