RE: Update on possible Black Velvet tree

["Jeff Franzreb" <jfranzreb@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure if I would necessarily make *all* trees SHN because not
everyone has high-speed connections.  Maybe when the tree organizer is
sending out invites to add a section if you want to be a branch using 
SHN.
That would allow the cable and dsl users to to it via FTP and those 
with
dial-up to use the current method of snail mail.

Just a thought,

Jeff

I wholeheartedly approve, and second the motion. In fact we should be
continuing the standard set by Zeppelin Digital, and being used in 
other
trading communities, and running *all* trees in SHN format, 
regardless of
whether someone has the space to make them available for download. 
Even if
no
FTP server option is included and it's a traditional thru-the-mail 
tree, the
advantages of SHN are too good to ignore.

Decompressing SHNs and burning audio discs is also faster than 
DAE'ing,
checking, and burning...
