Point in case. Bath is dead right now (it looks to me).

List readers who maintain pages with Csound links, 
please update them rather swiftly! You *must* link to 
the Montreal mirror, and you should preferably also 
have a note like "The Bath server may be offline 
at present, please use the mirror" etc.
Your pages turn up in web searches, and there are
too many Csound pages with dead links etc already.

This includes MIT frontpage(!).
(Btw, the "SunSITE" mirror link leads to a server which
hasn't ever responded to me, AFAICR. Maybe I have
too short timeout. Has anyone reached this?
http://SunSITE.univie.ac.at/pub/sound/csound/)

Ok, sorry for the bad pointer. I thought gzip could
handle zip files. And I thought there were no differences
between the source distributions, just the packing format.

Problem is, the latest tarball is not on Montreal, in
    ftp://ftp.musique.umontreal.ca/pub/mirrors/dream/platforms/unix/Linux/
as one might hope, but perhaps this could be amended by 
the ever-attentive maintainer.
