Couldn't we improve this section?  It doesn't compare well to the
8.3 filenames of installed zips, so it is hard to tell where one
is.  Date of update would also be helpful. Suggested format:

  zipname      last update  full version name
  ============ ==========   =================
  xxxxxxx8.3   2002-01-01   whatever-3.14.5

which will take a hair longer to transmit, but be easier to
maintain, both for you and the users.
