BUT... UUENCODED TARBALL IN THE SOURCES is definitely a big pain for my modem and must be removed! Lets sources be sources really. First of all, I doubt I can eat 2Mb as one big piece. Moreover, I expect the same big pain in future versions upgrades, each delta will be 2Mb again. Since I don't use TCL, it looks for me like 2Mb of junk EACH TIME! I accept any strategy, but please, untar this tarball. -- Andrey A.
