Has anyone started collecting a "correction list"
for the AUGE CD? In their review, GS+ magazine
commented that "once in a blue moon you'll find
a corrupted shrinkit archive" (approximate quote).
I have only encountered one so far. Have others
found some? Is there interest in this?

There appear to be an _immense_ number of index/
catalog text file errors on the CD. Wrong versions
listed. Files listed that don't exist. Files not
listed that _do_ exist. A whole disk listed that
doesn't exist! (Directory is there, but contains
duplicate of another disk's contents.)

Depending on the contents of the Golden Orchard CD,
this may be one of the ultimate IIgs archive sources
for (ever?) a long time. I would like to know what
is safe to delete off my floppies because a "good"
copy is safely on CD, but don't have time to unshrink
and test everything.

So, is there any interest in pooling our experiences
and creating a correct inventory list of the AUGE CD's
contents for posterity?
