Thanks for the advice Joe.  Thanks to Buck, Hans and others for the feedback.
I am not very experienced on these matters.
I agree totally that a consensus be reached for download sites.
Since this is the Web I believe there is no need to be only one site, but
you/we still need a site that is like an index to the available code.
The small site I set up cost me nothing, but it had an 11Meg limit on code. In
the end it is not really feasible except as a personal site on which I could
put up cross links back to the 'Master Index Site'.
I would be able to keep only source code in Ascii Text format. 
I did terminate it, (ps it had over 100 hits) but I may try to resurrect it
depending on the consesus on sites.
