The bz2 file is not bad, around 2 megs, but it expands into a 16
Meg tar file and thence to over 1000 files.  It tries valiantly to
set symbolic links on Windoze, and fails, resulting in anomalies.

With the coming death of Simtel for DJGPP maybe dj should consider
switching distributions to bz2 files, combined with a revision to
djtar to handle it (I don't think it can now).  This might reduce
the transmission loads, and 2.04 might be a good place to do the
switch.
