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. - Joel |
