Yup. That'd be nice. Thankyou.
Anything to tell the different revisions apart, so others (including myself)
don't assume that they have the latest version just because the files the
zip picker picks just happen to have the same name as the ones they've
already got.

With a timestamp, the person getting the files would need to open the Zip
file and sort the files by their modified time, and find the latest time.
Unfortunately, with for example the djdev203.zip, the latest file in the Zip
file is dated 10 June 2002, whilst the timestamp on the file on the FTP site
is 11 August 2002. Also, when downloading files, the timestamp is not set as
the timestamp on the FTP site.

Though, as long as the mirrors make the new files available as soon as
possible, It souldn't be too hard to compare the timestamp advertised by Zip
Picker with that of the file you've already got. Just make sure that you
either add a few days to the timestamp (in your mind) of the file on the FTP
server, or subtract a few days from the timestamp (in your mind) of the file
you've already got, then compare them. This allows for the possibility that
you downloaded the file in the time between the newest version being
released and the mirror getting that file.

BTW, the file I had had, I got on 25 July 2002

Once again, thankyou.
DJGPP is good.
