On the topic of APR's etc.  Does Apollo make patches available via
anonymous ftp?  If not why not.  Seems this is the quickest way for
people to obtain patches rather than having to call up, get patch tape,
or wait for new release.

Surely this would be more cost effective than ordering patch tapes.
Better yet why not send the patch automatically to people who submit
APR's.

Maybe this is too naive, but it sure seems like ftp'able patches would
make lots of unhappy users hapier quickly.  (assuming the patches actually
fix a problem that is :-)
