    On io.org (no, it's not back yet folks, sorry), I have a directory
called /pub/apple2/Uploads and another called /pub/apple2/New.  Uploads
are unverified contributions (i.e., download at your own risk).  Once I
check out the archive integrity with nulib, I move the them into their
appropriate directory in the hierarchy.  Then I make a hard link to the
New/ directory.  That way the file appears in both places without taking
up any hard drive space.  When a file is no longer considered "new",
just delete the link and the original file remains where it belongs.
