Thanks!

Along these lines, I'm in the midst of a move and my 
MacOS PPC box lost it's mind, or in this case, it's disk 
formatting the other day.  This will prevent me
from making up the release package for MacOS 
until I dig out the CD-ROM drive and can rebuild
the disk.  Can anyone help when the time
comes to do a new release?  Probably the biggest
thing one needs is some place to put the file
for me to grab and some fairly quick way of 
getting it there.  Oh yes, and a MacOS or OSX system
with a copy of Stuffit on it to build the archive.

Thanks!

cheers
