That's what Eric Schabell said to me in an email a couple days ago.

From the previous email recieved on 8/13/2002:

Like I told him, follow the guru handbook, once we all have this in our
spells
I can tell sorcery team to deal with it as it was decided at a meeting that
we would work this way.... it will continue to be discussed but on a post
1.0
basis as far as I am concerned! ;)

That's why MD5 summing the tar is a better idea. Was it decided that we
were going to follow the handbook for now (md5 the compressed archive)?
I've submitted a few spells over the past few weeks, all with MD5's of
the
.tar.
