Dear Ted Spencer!

As kindly mentioned by Scott Spencer, the DropBox is accessible by

<ftp://ftp.futurebasic.org/futurebasic/dropbox/>

Listmom Bill provided this space to communicate attachments that 
otherwise would be blocked by the list mechanisms.

The very file is named AquaAbout.sit.hqx. You may download it with 
your preferred Browser or with a FTP utility such as Fetch. Most 
Browsers and FTP-utilities will decode the Binhexing (hqx) and some 
of them will even call StuffIt for expanding the Compression (sit).

(I just did a test download and encountered no problems. Free StuffIt 
Expander 5.5 nicely decoded the archive.)

Thanks for your interest and good luck with a second try!
