	The version of getmaps.c that I have has a problem when
unpacking the maps files: it sorts the file names alphabetically
instead of numerically. That is, it extracts 1, 10, 11, .. 19, then
2, 3, .. 9.

	So if the update to a map is in article 19, and the original
is in article 2 - you lose the update if you unpack them at the same time.

	With the new group name - and the articles starting with
number 1, I suppect that others may have similar problems.

	Does anyone have a different sort program to use in getmaps.c?

	Also - the patch that someone provided to fix the \EOF problem
is based on a slightly different version of getmaps.c than the one I
got with news 2.11. Did I miss out on a new revision?
