DigiSoft Apple II CD Status Report

[DigiSoft@aol.com]

Status report:

The HFS FST is terrible. <deep sigh>  It is really slowing us down on the
creation of this CD.  It looks like we now will be having 2 HFS partitions
and
one ProDOS partition, in hopes that two smaller HFS partitions will be
handled
in a more stable and usable manner by the FST. At any rate, the CD is right
about to be premastered.  However, the HFS FST's bugs have caused us to lose
so much time that there is a chance that the premaster might not be back
until
after I go on vacation for 3 weeks in August.  If this is the case then the
CD
will not be released until mid/late September, because it takes 3-4 weeks to
master and replicate the CD after the premaster is complete and tested.
However, if the premaster gets back in time, the CD can be replicated while I
am on vacation, and it should ship the last week in August or first week in
September...

Sorry to bore you with all these details.. Let me lighten it up a bit by
giving a few statistics:

 106MB of Applications
 119MB of disks (selfbooting, non-ProDOS, etc.)
 15MB of Sounds
 31MB of Stacks
 25MB of Text
 33MB of TrueType Fonts
 2MB of Finder Extensions
 3MB of NDAs
 35MB of Graphics
 5MB of Cracks, Cheats, and Deprotects
 2MB of BASIC programs
 8MB of AppleWorks
 2MB of bitmap fonts

And a lot more! :-) It looks like the price will probably fall around $60,
since this whole project has taken a LOT more time than we first expected..
