We're in the process of hiring someone to be our on-line services
liason (i.e. hang out on CompuServe and AOL and help people over there
make best use of Executor) and also be a librarian for apps, placing
the most useful ones somewhere on ftp.ardi.com (so they'll
automatically be mirrored) and keeping a list of other apps, both ones
that work and ones that don't.

We should have brought this person on-line when 1.99m came out, but we
were so wiped out from getting 1.99m out the door that we delayed, so
now we hope to hire her as soon as 1.99n is ready.
