Thanks.  The blahBlah~ files are due to my previously poor understanding 
of the a2ps and zip utilities.  When a piece of source code changed and I 
regenerated the *.ps files using a2ps, I thought it would just overwrite 
the previous versions, but it made backups of the old versions 
(ex. grades.jsp.ps~).  So after I blindly zipped everything up and Andrew 
pointed out all the backups cluttering things up, I went back and deleted 
them and ran "zip -r book.zip book/", thinking zip would overwrite the old 
book.zip.  Of course, I was wrong again - it just *updated* book.zip, 
leaving the backups in there.  So they were still there when you grabbed 
it.  Anyway, a version without the backups is available in the usual 
place, not that it matters now.
