What would be the problem if one of us were to bundle together the
essential Mac software into an installer and place it in ftp.demon? Let's
see: MacTCP, PPP, Addmail, Eudora, MacWeb, NH demo I think would be the
essentials. Maybe could squeeze that onto an 800K disk. Then it would be
available for download in the same way that PC users are informed they can
ftp DOSDIS for full installation.

Everything in that list is free including the version of MacTCP that was
given away free on the the MacFormat cover CD some months ago.

Anybody think of any problems with that?
