This then begs the question "Por Qua"?
Version 3.15 of MSKermit is _not_ a `beta' and it would seem logical to put
those other files into the v3.15 archive (we're talking 10 minutes of
someone's time?). Instead you want newcomers to download v3.14 and somehow
(?) realize they can download v3.15 and insert it in place of v3.14 (delete
the auto-patch references in the INI file) and _then_ if they want to use the
_latest_ release download a _third_ time for v3.16 beta #8 which is probably
only on Joe Doupnik's computers. On WERMIT I believe beta #6 is the newest.
This seem logical to anyone?

This seems very obvious to you but it's what most commercial operations would
call careless or at best sloppy administration. I don't understand why `uue'
and `boo' and outdated versions of archives are the accepted `norm' for you
people.
