Putting netesfiles in subdirectories is easy.  Basically, you map
dots to slashes before you open a file.  We also changed the filenames
to include dots, like "BODY.TEXT" so they could never interfere with
a legal subdirectory name.

There are some other changes, but it was no big deal.

I have been corresponding (a little bit) with Ray and with Lou Salkind.
This version is based on NYU Notes from Lou, and is missing some of the
nice administration stuff in 1.7.  It does accept notes longer than
64K, and keeps all News headers.

If you are reading this on News, you should be able to trace the path
back to hpcea, read my organization, check out the Posting Version,
etc.
