A couple of quick questions about loading HFV's to the asimov site!
1. Am I correct in assuming that the author's permission is required
before repacking shareware into an hfv?
2. How large should each hfv be? Just large enough to contain the distributed
files? Or more?
3. How should they be packaged? "foo.hfv.zip" "foo.hfv.gz" "foo.hgz" ?
As a Linux user I prefer to use hfv's because
1. I have enough fun figuring out native Linux installations without
hassling with Mac archive formats.
2. I read somewhere in the RTFM that Linux should not have spaces in
file names, and I feel much happier NOT seeing %@$^&* files.
