The read/write CD is really nice for archival storage, but it is not the ideal medium to distribute traditional software. Can you imagine buying a copy of PageMaker. Yes sir, here is your 256 megabyte disk, with all of 2 megs used! It's like using a chainsaw to cut butter! Note that I said *traditional* software. If however you are buying something that is, by nature, large (i.e. the Los Angeles County phone book) then the large disk size a very nice feature. ----- L. Greg DeMichillie "This is the 80's...
