At the last REXX Symposium I volunteered to coordinate the collection of
ARexx-related scripts and programs and set up an FTP site for people to
access these files.  Well, I've got the disk space now and I've set up
the FTP server... there are a few technicalities I have to figure out
before I actually release the name of the FTP site (it's not the machine
I'm writing this from!) but right now my main problem is that I don't
have enough ARexx material!  So please, mail me your useful scripts,
point me to useful programs (got RexxArpLib already, obviously), etc.
I will be combing BIX as well, looking for stuff.

ARexxLib is not quite REXXLIB, which is a similar archive being run out
of Penn State.  I haven't decided yet if I'm going to mirror REXXLIB or
not, it really depends on how much space all that would take.  For now
I'll limit myself to ARexx-specific (with room for general REXX) stuff.

Note that there will be time limits imposed on the FTP access, probably
from 6 pm to 8 am EST only.  The machine I'm using is needed for other
(other==real) work.  No plans for an "incoming" directory at this time,
the last thing I need is someone filling up the disk on me....
