Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] ftp.gnu.org directory listing omits latest gcl release [Re: gcl-2.6.10 availability]

Thanks!  That hadn't occurred to me.  In the ACL2 instructions I'll
point out that sorting may be necessary.

   Greetings!  Its there, but the ftp server is apparently truncating the
   directory list, which is unfortunate given the default sort order places
   the latest release at the bottom.  If you click twice on 'Last Modified'
   to sort in descending chronological order, you will see the file.

   Needless to say, this is unsatisfactory.  I'm cc'ing savannah to see if
   they can address this.  A likely workaround is to move some files into
   the old subdirectory.  I'll try to get to this later today.

   A truly blistering release pace you keep there, Matt!  Congratulations!
