(This is a repost of an earlier article because it never made it
outside of netcom (apparently...)

I'm working for a small software company with a product that enables 
one to look up over 6,00 movies, based on title/director/academy awards
ect... (you name it we have it..) 

We are redesigning the packaging and I would like some feedback on 
the following question:

Do we need to support 5 1/4" disk formats?

A little more background is in order.  We would prefer to package the
product in a "videotape" sized package which is too small for the
5 1/4" disk.  The MAC version of the product is obviously 3 1/2" and
most of our sales of both versions have been 3 1/2".  One solution
suggested is to allow folks to order 5 1/4" and simply have some
"one-off" enveloping for the orders.  

Any thoughts/suggestions? 

-d


ps: the package is Video Companion and sells for $29.95, inquiries
can be sent to me.
