Hey, atari.archive folks!  How about a directory called 'reviews' where we 
can place text file reviews for programs?  Maybe a newreviews directory 
where we can initially place them, so you'all can check them for dirty 
words or whatever.  We can adopt a naming system that includes both the 
name of the program and explicit version number.  If you get multiple 
reviews of the same program, maybe you could append them together?  I would
be willing to contribute to this database, as I am sure others would.
Oh, it might be a good idea to use UN*X style names, so we can spell out the
full name of the program (I have so much fun trying to decipher what some of
the 8 character ones mean!!, but of course this makes sense for files that 
are intended to work on the ST).  Just a thought . . . . any seconds?
