This may be controversial, but I have removed all three of these disk archives
from the cco.caltech.edu archive site. Here are my reasons:

1. HD Install contains copyrighted code. It is not a set of patches for program
files, but rather a set of -patched- program files. I do not know if one could
run the programs without previously owning copies of them, but regardless, 
some of the code in the patched files is copyrighted and is thus not suitable
for distribution on the CCO archive site.

2. Bille Art contains some questionable pictures in locations without any kind
of warnings (ie: the Panic! button)... I will consider putting it on the site
if demand is high enough, but after my initial evaluation of the game, the 
aforementioned pictures, in addition to the rather pathetic quality of the game
itself, combined with Caltech's lack of excess storage space made me kill it...

Now, if someone wants to write instructions for patching copyrighted software
for hard drives, or write a program to do so, that's fine, and I'll let that
stay. But the Dungeon Master files, for instance, on the HD Install Disk 1 
were over five HUNDRED ProDOS Blocks long! That much program code is not  
necessary for deprotection/HD installation under any circumstances. 

If anyone has any comments or questions, please feel free to send them to me
as usual...
