	Good one.  Scripts could be included as shar files--I
	think this is what you mean.  Then the only thing that 
	the people contributing the script would have to do
	would be to have the 
	^HEADER: strings in the right format.  It seems to me 
	that anybody who was serious about having his script(s)
	published would do that much of the work.  

	The rest of it could be done at the -www end; then, with 
	a minimun of time/effort, the categories would be underway.
