Here's an idea! Could an agreement be made with Apple to distribute Disinfectant with minimal system software as a floppy disk DiskCopy image? This would make the file awfully big, but it would insure that the user has a *CLEAN* *BOOTABLE* floppy with Disinfectant on it (assuming the floppy was locked after the copy). Another point on the downside would be that the user would have to have DiskCopy and know how to use it, but couldn't a whiz-bang, one file application be made up that automatically makes a bootable Disinfectant floppy? Would this setup be worth the large file size? Well, I really don't need it, but it might be nice for less-technical Mac users (i.e. those who would have problems making a minimal bootable system floppy). -- / George D.
