Cliff, would it be possible for you guys to have a "submit" directory, where folks could dump software. That way, you all would have time to verify copyright info, check that the programs work (minimally, anyway) and then swap them over to a user pickup _at your leisure_ (ha! Sorry, bad joke in your case). You could build one new .HFV of demos each month containing _only_ new stuff, and have one large one containing the sum of all the smaller ones for first-time downloaders and hard drive crash victims. We'z all out here to help you guys sell a better product. Keep telling us why you can't do it, and eventually we'll come up with a plan that can do it. Pardon me for sounding like a 50s movie extra. So, tell me specifically what's wrong with the above idea, and I'll get back to you. -Chris Hedberg
