OK, that takes care of about 3/4 of the problem, but how do I get the new files
on the server (the server says that there are no files by that name - no
kidding!)  Do I need to put the name of the new file in the index before
putting it on the server? (which I haven't a clue how to do) Plus, can I do
these things as a listowner, or do I need to ask someone to do it for me.  I
thought that the HTML files are automatically generated from information from
either the archives themselves (hopefully) or the filelist, via a CGI script.
If it uses the filelist (index) then I'll need to know how to edit that file.
