I *almost* succeeded in getting the latest version before it became out-of-date. It seems to be almost impossible for anyone to get the whole thing in one ftp copy. I have certainly wasted lots of resources trying. Something better is required. If someone would take charge of splitting the latest version in addition to compressing it that would be great. I understand that Stallman is not interested in this extra task. Any volunteers? While you're at it, it would help to know the compression factor and the check sum of each split file. I found that ftp may not catch all transmission errors and when uncompress complains, it is difficult to tell which split file is in error. Furthermore, uncompress doesn't even catch some errors and tar eventually complains - it's been frustrating, let me tell you.
