        Though I put it in /home/macrides/public_html so I can get it
conveniently (via http) from other sites instead of having to do actual
ftp, I don't want that to become perceived as a distribution account,
'cuz it could have bugs I'm still working on for the platform/flavors
of the other sites.

        But if you set up some subdirectory in your public area, with
a symbolic link to it, I can cp the .zip and .zip-lst there when I
download them here for distribution.  Bear in mind, though, that it's
still just "Fote's mods based on Fote's personal judgment", not what
the FM distributions used to be.  I made it a complete FM distribution
set instead of the earlier "mods" replacement file set, 'cuz at this
point I've modified the majority of files in v2.6.
