I would break the list into three categories, software, data and for a lack
of a better term "other". I usually search the ftp for a particular tool or
piece of data, and just separating the two would ease the search. I would
hope that this would allow the old stuff to remain on the site. If I change
jobs, or my machine dies, the first place I visit is the ftp to recover my
favorite data and tools.
Just my 2 cents.

Subject: MI ANNOUNCE: More new files at the FTP site
Hi folks,
We have a few more new and updated files at the MapInfo-L
FTP
site. See 'em at http://www.ctmap.com/mapinfo/recent.htm.
If anyone has some good ideas about how to make an index so
that
files are easier to find, I'd be interested to hear your
thoughts. Also, I'm thinking of retiring some of the more
out-of-date things. Anything older than 3 years is a
candidate.
Any suggestions on that are welcome too. The main reason is
not
that I need disk space but that this archive is getting sort
of
big and hard to find things. I'm noticing that people are
more
often now asking for tools that have been in here for a long
time, but either they don't look for them on the site or
can't
find what they want there.
