It's a lot of work for me to post a new set to my ftp site.  That's because I
run a large number of filters on every game to ensure that there are no mistakes
in it.  Only a little over half of the games are currently on my ftp site, and I
doubt I will post the updates even within the next few months.

I will be doing a big update to the EPD part of the site after our IBM mainframe
arrives at the end of this month.  I currently keep the EPD database in SQL
server on the machine I am typing this message from.  However, now that I have
about 30 gigs of data, this machine simply won't do.  So I am going to store the
information on DB2 on the IBM big iron.
