i know that isp's make cd roms that can be read by a win3.1 system and a
dos 6.22 system or mac or whatever...what i would like to see  (don't
have a burner) is that the gs cd be made 'bbs ready' like with the
allfiles.txt index in it and able to run on a 6.22 dos platform as
well..then the cd could be put on those remaining web sites with cd rom
towers etc and avail for download.....get it out for the masses..i know
they made a shareware cd for macs that was on a ibm cd bbs ready that ws
was very popular with ms-dos bbs's avail for download in that it just
was not another shareware cd ..but something they could offer unique

just my 2c worth
