I like all the bitmaps that people are uploading to places like uwasa.fi,
35.8.2.1, and cica.cica.indiana.edu.

-HOWEVER-

It's becoming increasingly difficult to sort them out from the _programs_
that are also being uploaded there, since both are usually compressed ala
Lharc or Zip.  And since I'm downloading these at 1200 baud, it would be
helpful to know what I'm getting.  (is LANDER3.ZIP a game or a bitmap of
a lunar lander? - it happens to be a cute game, but try figuring that out
from the filename)

-SO-

Would it be possible for people at these sites to create a subdirectory
under the win3 directory, named 'bitmaps' or something?  That way we'd
all know what we're getting.
