After installing 4.31, i noticed a directory /usr/root.proto that, while
it may have been there before, I never noticed.  It seems to be an exact
duplicate of the 'core' of '/'.  I'd love to have its 1.6 Meg of disk 
space, so, does anyone know:

Is it needed?
Will i mess up further updates if i remove it?
Did i just mess up the installation (normally it would have been
	automagically removed)?

Also, does
	/usr/stand/diskman
really have to be 3 MBytes?  I've been thinking of removing it (having a
tape copy), but am wondering if there is some use for it I dont know.


Random good news : 4.31 includes a working 'cprs' (or see dg-rtp.dg.com::
pub/gnu/cprs.Z if you still have 4.30).  Running it on the (intermediate
'temacs'!) of gnu emacs saves about .5 meg alone.  "Thanks!" to the people
at DG (I'm happy to give their names, but they may not want the "corporate"
attention!)
