Mark,

This is a welcome change. I can almost believe that Apple is trying to support
developers. Particularly those who don't have a great deal of money to spend.
The prices in the recent APDALog made me wonder.

However, I would think that, at the very least, the site should also include
the software that gets posted on the larger networks. Recently the 32-bit 
quickdraw software , the 6.0 LaserWriter drivers, MacsBug 6.1, and ResEdit 1.2 
were uploaded to CompuServe, GEnie, and Delphi for all to download. Surely the 
same general principles apply to an ftp site that do to those larger networks, 
aside from the obvious difference of--ahem--payment.
