[Normally I would have blocked this as being below the level I want
for the list, but I'm letting it through because I wanted to mention
that I consider self-extracting anything -- zip files, encrypted
files, whatever -- to be a major security risk. It is a great way to
train users to run untrusted executables as a matter of course -- the
worst possible idea. --Perry]
