directory-contents.txt       revision: 17 Jul 93

Each directory in the archive has two names, one descriptive and one 
abbreviated for ease of repeated use. The descriptive names are 
capitalized so they will sort to the top of directory listings. Here 
is an example of an entry in the following list:

DescriptiveName  name
    A description of the contents of this directory.  It may be
    accessed with both "cd DescriptiveName" and "cd name".
  SubdirectoryDescriptiveName  sub
    A description of the contents of this subdirectory of name.  It
    may be accessed with both
    "cd DescriptiveName/SubdirectoryDescriptiveName" and
    "cd name/sub".
