You should log onto ALPE more often, Doug! ACU has been out for almost a week now, and it's pretty slick. Download libraries are growing nicely now that ACU is finally out. I don't know all the advantages of ACU over BLU, but the compressed files *are* at least a tad smaller, and I believe ACU *can* unpack all BLU-packed files. As I understand it, ACU will become the official standard on GEnie and CompuServe, etc, eventually. (By the way, I'm an Apple Forum Consultant in the Apple Developers Forum; drop by & ask your questions. The other AFC for the ADV forum is Dennis Doms of Open-Apple fame.) --David A.
