You do know that you are in the credits for HyperFTP, right? Perhaps you
didn't directly work on the project, but it uses your FileName, FolderName
stuff.
Do you mean, also, that you contributed to Anarch(y)(ie)? Or just that it
was "your tool" for FTP? I didn't use Anarchy much, as all the separate
windows used to baffle and blind me on my then-LC, then-IIsi small screen.
By the time I got a larger screen I was Fetching everything.
(Now that I have a very big screen and use Fetch 4, I often put it into
Anarchy-emulation mode!)
(Cool thing about Interarchy is making my own UI's, and I would switch
permanently since it can do so much, but then I'd miss my little running
dog.)

Amen.
I would be willing to trade my Mac Plus, with all of the Apple staff's
signatures molded into the inside of the casing, if someone could get Bill
Atkinson to let me spend the weekend with him on one of his nature photo
shoots. (Of course, that is so we can HyperTalk.)
And, if you can also arrange for Danny Goodman to go with us, then I'll also
throw in my Danny Goodman signed HyperCard Handbook!
