I have to agree there.

I've gotten pretty much good A2 software from the net, most
of which is either archived or deleted, being stuff I wouldn't
use myself, and then I thought why didn't I post it on my site.
Anyway, I have also found a good share of broken links and
bad archive files, and wish they'd be checked and replaced or
simply removed, making space for good files and links.

I finally have a foolproof method for extracting the textual based
BinHex'd files, but prefer to keep looking for shk'd or dsk'd ones.

Wish I could remember where I dl'd over 20 bad shk'd files, simply
so I can inform the owner of the site. ;-)

Approx. 9 of 10 .PO files I've encountered were DOA.

If you like .dsk then that's what we'll give you. I also like
.sdk, which is the full disk compression mode of ShrinkIt.
This package I'm getting professes to contain version 2,3,
and 4 of Publish-It, and I'll throw them all in if you think
people would rather an earlier version. ;-) Incidentally, if
you'd like the job, I would not be adverse to posting on my
site and then have you download it and reupload to Asimov
for me. ;-)
