    Almost true, but not quite.  The NCBI repository/acedb/celegans
doesn't have the file "update.WS1.4-25.tar.Z".  I found this out
after noticing that ACEDB was strangely stopping at "4-24" even
though I thought it was supposed to go up to 4-26 ... then I
went back and found this glitch.

    The ftp.sanger.ac.uk site has the 4-25 file, fortunately, but
if this can be fixed it would be good.

    Thanks for due consideration,
