Hello! I know you are all very busy and the Seattle IETF is near, but I really think we should have a corrected and working draft out real soon now. I think we have already lost a big and enthusiastic part of the user community with the Linux users, as they have their own "lsm" format and on the X11 groups it is currently discussed to reorganize ftp.x.org and there are some volunteers to index all the files and one proposal is to use lsm. If, IMHO, we will not have a corrected draft SOON, we won't need it as it will be a standard no one will ever use, as there will be others that ARE used and are de facto standards. Also we have locally some users that maintain our FTP archive. They have created up to now about 1800 AFA SOFTWARE files. Because of the uncertainess (sp?) of the current draft we decided to stay at the format used by the one before that and it's becoming harder and harder to motivate them writing old index files that they have to convert some time. Please! \Maex -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Markus Stumpf Markus.Stumpf@Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE http://www.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/~stumpf/
