Once I began uploading and it sank into me that these filenames were
all indexed by Google and Asimov itself and whatever else, I tried to
be as descriptive as possible with the full title, author, company,
year, and even version number and cracker/pirate info if available.
Had I realized that there were both mouse and non-mouse versions of
Music Construction Set, I'd have labeled them accordingly.

It turns out, though, that I uploaded the non-mouse version too, as
"A21 - Music Construction Set (Midwest Pirates Guild crack).dsk".  In
the same directory is "music_construction_set.dsk.gz" which contains
an unattributed crack of the non-mouse version.

So, three unique versions of the same program, all archived!  :)
