Is it possible to always name these files the same name? SCANVxxx.ZIP could always be SCANV.ZIP and the version number could be in the comments field. This way those of us who use autoftp would be able to get the file the first time. Now we autoftp a name only to find out later the name doesn't exist. Then we autoftp the simibm.arc to find the current name and finally we autoftp the current name.
