Just email any images, preferably if you're sure they do not originate
from TBL. I have a simple script that checks/removes dupes and updates
the count. I keep hacked ones so I won't have to check them in future
when coming across them.

more like 30 to 50 (ISDN/56k). Substantial, but I'didn't get around to

lots of zips is not going to happen unless either some CVS type
repository is set up and others do work on it as well, or if it's
reasonable complete and all the versions have been checked for mods from
originals etc., so that there won't be many future changes.

I've placed the 3rd version of the archive online on 9 jan. Future
updates depend on feedback.
