Our plan (and we have to get permission from the various shareware
authors) will be to have the software in multiple forms:

	Unpacked On the big hybrid HFV (that can be seen under either
	Executor or a real Mac)

	Unpacked on smaller HFVs that can be copied to your hard disk

	Packed in the original .hqx format (as we pulled the stuff off
	the various internet sites)

Some shareware authors may object to this sort of layout, but
hopefully most won't.

Beta0 still didn't get done today.  I got the Linux portion laid out
but Mat pointed out a few showstoppers so we're doing a little clean
up work before we try another burn.  I still have the NEXTSTEP layout
to finish, too.  Tricky stuff, but we're really making a lot of
progress.
