Hi Bruce,

a set of pages is outdated at Baylor web site:

http://www3.baylor.edu/grass/bugtracking/bugreport.html
http://www3.baylor.edu/grass/firsttime.html
ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/cygwin_grass50comp+ile.html
    (2001/11/14 - the latest is from 2002/01/22)

Quite some differences: 
ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/
 to
http://grass.itc.it/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/

also
ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/wingrass/
 -> winGRASS does not exist at Baylor

ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/htmlman/
-> from year 1998/2000, outdated

http://www3.baylor.edu/grass/grass_addons.html

http://www3.baylor.edu/grass/gdp/html_grass5/html_grass5.tar.gz
-> is from 2002-01-26 (you could run a cronjob to update that
   automatically

http://www3.baylor.edu/grass/grass5/progmangrass50.pdf
-> 20th December 2001

http://www3.baylor.edu/grass/statsgrass/index.html

etc. (I didn't check all)

Please regularly update the pages to avoid user confusion.
May I suggest to automate updating...

Markus
