* One case is the HTML DTDs from W3C. Versions 0 through 2 are * available as a tar file, but wilbur (3.2) and cougar are only * available as separate file--about 4 each. Furthermore, they are * available only via ftp as far as I can tell. On the bright side, * I've been in contact with the powers that be and they are * considering offering them neatly packaged up. Ok. If there are only 4 or so, listing them all and having DIST_SUBDIR set doesn't seem so bad either. * In another case, even if wu-ftpd was an option, grabbing the * directory would be like using a drag-net, catching every living * thing from the ocean just to get a couple small files. :( I see.... ;) Satoshi
