Regardless of this -- not addressing the issue of the distfile survey program -- when retrieving the HTML page, all the references point to the uic.edu address: 1. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/djb.html 2. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/data.html 3. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/lists.html#cdb 4. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/software/cdb-0.55.tar.gz So for now, I believe the correct patch to be to change both references to this site. At least, they need to be made consistent. The redirect from pobox.com -> uic.edu has been in there quite a while now, suggesting that the 'temporary' move is somewhat less than temporary (but we'll leave the semantic wars for -chat :) Regards, -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
