  Why useless? I spent a hell of a lot of time generating those files,
and I don't take kindly to the term useless. You didn't by any chance
miss the instructions for unpacking which I *carefully put in a text
box* did you?

This is taken from the instructions with that posting:

  Now if you missed what I said, *twice*, and all the info files are
overwriting each other, then you have my sympathy. If you just find my
descriptions of the files displeasing, you certainly did go public with
it. My guess is that you didn'y use the // option, right?
