Sounds like a great idea to me!  Make sure you include the files on it that
didn't turn out due to the HFS bug on the first one, too :)

Rescuing the AOL library is a great idea. :)  One thing to be careful of
though...  I know there are several uploads to GEnie which the uploaders
included in them a note saying they were a GEnie-exclusive, and they weren't
to be uploaded or distributed elsewhere.  I would suggest checking the AOL
files for similar notices in case any of them were "AOL exlusive" and
contacting the authors of said files before including them.

This should be great :)
