I used to provide the complete Chipdir in zip format
but the .tgz format is about 30% smaller and much more
standard and almost all of the mirror sites use Unix
anyway and almost no PC user knows what .zip is anymore
and how to handle it, so...

But if anybody asked I could provide a zip version.
I also provided emailed versions in parts some years
ago.

By the way, instead of dwelling on the past, and as Martin
rightly remarked: We should handle information as information
and not as a screen-formatted product, and therefore I have
been trying to think ahead and studied web services and
pondered ways to provide the information in the chipdir
as 'pure' information (like in the form of XML).

Some of you may remember my experiment some time ago of
offering a pin-matching script to find similar chips.
Once I had to explain regular expressions however, that
dampened my enthousiasm and I figured that there were
more useful ways to spend on the chipdir.

By the way Martin, didn't we email earlier about how
sites should be adapted more to the blind?

I remember emailing with someone at the westcoast of the
USA about keeping the Chipdir blind-friendly and although
I try to do that I suggested that he should ask the Lynx
people to filter out all the Javascript stuff as they should
(or interpret it as they could). I try to keep my site
as fluff-free as possible, but it's not a blind-people
only site and we can't ignore progress.

Greetings,
Jaap
