Not only compiler products.  What about those modern applications that come
on 8, 12, 17 or more DSHD disks?  How long before the vendors assume we all
have a CDROM player and only distribute that way?  It surprises me they haven't
started already to a greater extent.  It could well be seen as one way to
re-introduce a type of modest copy protection, could it not?
