Could I make a small suggestion here... can we standardize on RYDER versus
MOVER?  It would be nice if one of the two would read both formats.  Is this
possible?
 
Along those lines, we need a "standard" distribution format for Posix items.
We have all manners of options now.  I would like to suggest (Mover/Ryder)
compressed, but of course I'm open for other ideas.  I like this format most
since the resulting binary can be transported without any special MPE file
attributes, anything seems to work as long as it's binary.
