A lot of files are outdated at Baylor:

ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/grass5/manuals/
 -> Feb 23  2000 (oops)

ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/grass5/source/
-> pre2 sources (although pre3 on index2.html)

ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/grass5/cygwingrass/
-> should completely disappear Feb 23  2000

ftp://grass.baylor.edu/pub/grass/grass5/binary/
-> one version behind

http://www.baylor.edu/grass/data.html
-> GRASS 5.x: SPEARFISH dataset (still the outdated version)
-> SPEARFISH dataset related documents (incomplete)

http://www.baylor.edu/grass/gdp/html_grass5/index.html
-> Last Modified:  Monday, 10-Sep-01
   (that's whay also the search engine at Baylor doesn't work)

http://www.baylor.edu/grass/grass5/progmangrass50.pdf
-> 8th October 2001

and so on... Is Baylor GRASS site still maintained? I have written 
some emails and asked for updates without response.

Eventually we should at least add "outdated" to the list of
mirrors, it's a potential source of confusion when people
downloading from Baylor get oldish stuff.

As Baylor web master doesn't want to mirror with "rsync" but copies 
every file manually, I am not surprised about the differences.

What can we do?
