Of course, rules vary at each archive site. In the case of XANTH.CS.ODU.EDU, anyone is welcome to ``upload'' suitable files into the directory ``/incoming''. The file is then available to everyone, but is not safe from tampering. It would be best to, after uploading, send mail to ``ftp-bugs@cs.odu.edu'' (as mentioned in /README) indicating that the file is there and that we're welcome to put it in a permanent location. I prefer that .ZOO files be uploaded, but will accept .ARC and .tar.Z files (and may convert them into .ZOO files myself since I'm prejudiced). ...tad
