Ok I do not have a problem with http ... so as it looks we are going to use
http with some informational files ...

just for my understanding ... what the matter with ldraw.org and ftp ? Have
I missed something ?

Yes I know, with Win32 it's easy no matter if it's http or ftp, but is it
also under Unix? I would like to keep the source as portable as possible.
In general it doesn't depend on the protocol, but getting directory • listings
from ftp servers is common and always allowed while on http-servers it's
mostly forbidden :-(

We can always either:

a. Enable directory listings for the appropriate directories.
b. Supply a parts.dir file, containing the directory listing.

BTW, unless something radical changes with the current situation, FTP is
the wrong way to go for talking to ldraw.org.
