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.
