	I recently sent Salient a set of XCMD's for use with Hypercard and
MicroPhone II (and Supercard, etc.) which utilize the DiskDoubler engine
to perform compression and decompression of files.  I do not know if they
have begun redistributing them yet, but once they are this will give you
some additional ways to work with DD - especially in conjunction with your
BBS.
	Note, that this makes MicroPhone II the first communcations package
which can handle Stuffit, Stuffit Deluxe and Disk Doubler archives - and
I would also love to handle Compactor archives, but Bill Goodman isn't talking!
(Oh, Binhex, etc. coming soon...)
