Actually, those are the archives from the pre-Serek-controlled lists. Quite
ancient stuff. I recommend moving them outside of the main document
root/area (somewhere else on ibiblio, as we have done with some of our
other content). Or put them into a gzipped/tar or zipped file for that matter.
If this sounds reasonable, let me know. I doubt there is much in there
that is useful (beyond some historical significance).
