Keith Petersen's most recent posting of the updates to SIMTEL20
revealed a bug in simtel.update.  Yes, you guessed it, the file
format changed and simtel.update doesn't parse it right any
more...

Here's the patch.

*** simtel.update.old	Sun Mar  4 14:00:00 1990

      $dirname = $_;
-     # If it's a genuine directory change, we'll have these headers.
-     next unless (<> eq " Filename   Type Length   Date    Description\n");
-     next unless (<> eq "==============================================\n");
      return 2 * do find_directory();
