How large is your compressed tar file? If less than 0.5MB, just send it
to me. If larger than that, then please try posting it at

  ftp://postgresql.org/pub/.incoming/

and let me know it is there.

It has lots of parens, like Scheme/Guile :) afaik Scheme was an offshoot
of or reaction to Lisp, which is very heavy and full-featured, years
