   As many of you know, I've been posting a list of ST picture formats
here pretty regularly (there have been frequent updates).  I started doing
this because there were a lot of questions about the various formats, 
few of which ever really got answered well.
   The list has gotten to be long (325 lines), and it occurs to me that
the postings might be simply wasting net bandwidth (i.e., if most people
are just skipping over it it's just filling up space in the digests.)
   So here are two questions:

	1) Are people still interested in seeing the postings?
	2) Would people rather see just updates, as opposed to the
	   entire list.

   I'm perfectly willing to keep posting it, but I don't want to annoy
a lot of people for a few people who are interested.

   Neil Forsyth suggested unix man page style postings, where each
format would have its own page.  When a format got updated, the new
man page would be posted.
