OK, so please do so.  Wait, see comments below.

This Aad..56 is a hash.  This hash is the identifier of the agent (as in
http://ball.askemos.org/?_v=search&_id=3749 ) which publishes the files.

http://askemos.org/chicken-eggs/ is just another name the same object,
however only valid withing the virtual host "askemos.org", while the
hash is always valid (i.e. also at ball.askemos.org, which is actually
the better location to use, since ball.askemos.org where the code is).


So the preferred URL's should be:

http://ball.askemos.org/Aad0f198cd7fcfc96ea59bcbeec340556/llrb-syntax.release-info

and

http://ball.askemos.org/Aad0f198cd7fcfc96ea59bcbeec340556/llrb-tree.release-info

I see.  Thanks.

One more question: am I correct to understand that documentation should
go best to http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/{egg-name} ?

Thanks
