Thanks for pointing that out. This is actually a "feature" in Netscape, where it is prepending the http:// ...this was not in the news article. ftp.cdrom.com is running with some old WWW pages and has some configuration problems that cause it to display some archive-maintainer's pages (artpacks). The real WWW server for cdrom.com was moved to a new machine, www.cdrom.com, several weeks ago. I just killed the WWW server on wcarchive, which will make http://ftp.cdrom.com non-functional (which is better than putting up the artpacks pages!).
