To follow this thread, SoftDisk GS is offering a three month trial 
subscription for $19.95.  This works out to be about $1.00 per program 
over the three month period.  They have had some neat NDA's in the past 
plus some fine games.  I have *absolutely* nothing to do with this 
company, but wanted to post this information.  Their phone number is
1-800-831-2694.  I have found their monthly disks most interesting and
helpful.
