That would be great -- the most helpful thing.

They can for me. It's a Unix (FreeBSD) server, so it doesn't especially
care what you call things.

Good. The download directories are anonymous FTP, so they wouldn't restrict
Portal-9 scanning them.

I'm a project date freak, in the names. So my musical projects have names
like "liquidbirds-20031113-v173.cwp". When I zip up the complete project
drafts, they go onto CD (now DVD) with relatively complete names of the
zipped files and folders.
