On-line help would be a good idea. When you run ArcWeb, it can run
a special Acornet home page stored locally. This can have links to
all the !Help files for each of the apps, the Arcweb link leading
to the normal page that comes up upon loading it.

These should be separate archives as they are completely independant
of each other.

These will be totally separate to Acornet, but a good plan. You
can have themed archives, eg
* Leisure - !IRClient, !Talker
* Business - !pdf, !Freecost
* Servers - httpd, telnetd, ircd, etc
* InfoMine - !sFTP, other information retrieval/storage clients

Don't forget the Freenet page http://www.infopark.demon.co.uk/freenet/
