I volunteered to help out with keeping CVS up to date when Justin asked
a few weeks ago. I just checked in the USNews and Newsweek sites that
BoonNam Goh contributed a while ago. I'd like to also check in Chris
Werner's newscientist site (I have it all ready to go) but I have a
question.

If it might cause problems on 160x160 machines without modifications,
might it be better if I check it in under a different name so folks on
older machines can use the older file? I tested it on my own low-res
Clie, and it looks fine, but I don't have plucker set up to do images
so I was completely ignoring all the images and didn't get the benefit
of that part of your changes.
I also have BoonNam Goh's PC Mag with images site file, but that site
isn't answering for me -- not sure if the URL has changed or if it's
just a temporary glitch. I'll try again tomorrow. And I have
richard_html2pdb's uhguardian file (but it isn't working for me --
looks like they've changed the page a bit) and Wired Magazine
(which works nicely ... I also have a Wired site file I've been using,
plus there are a bunch of them in CVS, so I want to reconcile all these
Wireds somehow before checking in, and maybe remove the old ones if
they're no longer working ...).
If anyone else has submitted site files I haven't listed here and they
aren't in CVS, please resubmit them now. If possible, please make them
text attachments (that way whitespace doesn't get lost and lines
don't get accidentally wropped).
