I think the huge number of support emails "I have downloaded x number of modules and now what am I supposed to do" suggests the same - though of course us taking away the zips from the webpage would be a helpful step to stop that. Downloading a zip for sharing is of course a very useful way to pass about modules via sneaker net. And that is in turn a way of some importance where the interent is either sparse or controlled. I think we acknowledge this by making the zip's available but we do not exactly facilitate it beyond that point. And that is a shame. Peter > Jon -- GRATIS! Movie-FLAT mit über 300 Videos.
