Just a note:

Files hatched should be:
  1) in zip, rar, or some other archive type that can be commented (NOT gzip
  or tar.gz)
  2) carry the archive comment (filegate.hdr)
  3) the integrity of the original file should be kept, in other words DON'T
  add files to an author's work.  Archive comments do not add files to the
  archive, that's why we use them.

Take care,
Janis
