Our archive is currently quite restricted in its scope. Its only purpose
(currently) is to facilitate distribution of our half-dozen-or-so
home-grown statistical software packages, and we've never had reason or
cause to use the archive for two-way data exchange.
But you make a good case, and it's not that big a problem, so I'll re-open
write permissions... partially.
