FTP Archive cleanup
I had written a script which checks the archive for missing and extra source and binaries some time ago. I've finally acted on its output. I've orphaned any old source packages. Some are obviously obsolete (such as tcl74, tcl75, tk40, tk41). Others are useful but have no active maintainer. I've removed any binary packages which weren't being generated by a source package. This cleaned up a lot of cruft and unfortunately (or not) all the a.out packages. hamm currently has no a.out support, runtime or development. Apparently there are some commercial packages which are only available in a.out format, so we ought to at least provide libc4. I don't think it's necessary to support development.

RE: FTP Archive cleanup
Are you sure nothing depends on the older tcl an tk versions? I think axe still depends tcl74 for instance. Joost, will you update axe?
