Thanks! After 1.99n is out we'll be populating our HFV directory with a lot of apps that people have suggested we let people download. We're also working on better instructions to help people through the process of downloading software to run under Executor. The archives that we've had the hardest time figuring out are the AOL ones. It appears that some AOL archives really are .SIT files and all you need to do is change the file type and creator to "SIT!" and run them through Stuffit Expander, but other just don't decompress that way. We've asked AOL for some more information, but progress has been slow so far. NOTE: we will not be allowing people to upload into the HFV directories at ftp.ardi.com because we want to make sure what's put there can legally be redistributed by us. We will listen to suggestions, although please wait until 1.99n has been out for a week before you make them, both because we'll have our hands tied until then and also we have a backlog of suggestions for HFVs to process first. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
