Actually because of a restriction of the email server, I usually need to
ensure that files untar into a directory which is `basename foo.tar.Z .tar.Z`.
I.e. foo.tar.Z always creates directory foo.  If you are sending in
submissions (email to next-archive@cc.purdue.edu, NeXT format mail
preferred) it is nice if you drag the directory into the Mail app; saves
me a bit of work on occasion.  Remember that these files are also available
through the archive server if you do not have ftp access.  Send a message
containing the word "help" at the beginning of a line to
archive-server@cc.purdue.edu to see how to use the server.

Also, it appears that my copy of epoch is indeed damaged.  If someone knows
where I can pick up a more up to date image/more correct image, please let
me know and I'll replace my copy.
