can someone confirm some for me?  the URL is
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/snap-19981105/NetBSD-1.3H/i386/

look at the date of the dir and files... I see 1997 when I use NetScape on
Win98 to get there.  But when I ftp via NetBSD, the year doesn't show when
I do ls -l so I assume it's current.  Here is the output.

ftp> ls -l
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'.
