As Vince said, you should always do this for any file you send out.
Sending out the same filename across a number of file echos like paswin,
pasfiles, pasos2, etc. does NOT work.
It does not work even if you separate the hatching over several hours. Sure,
it works on my system as the first distribution point, but once it gets here
and then goes out to others it will fail because you can't control how often
people may poll for files.
