Softdisk is pretty awesome.  Games, utilities, programming information, source code.

I have 100+ originals on 5.25, but haven't looked through them much.  I think I have every issue that came out. I see a neat program mentioned once in a blue moon here, from SoftDisk, and I grab out my disks and check it out..

QuickShapes is a Hi-Res preshift graphic capture program.  I used it once, but didn't own Softdisk at that time.  I cloned its features with my own program (rich12345.tripod.com/bse)  that does the same thing, faster, with more features.

What is the legal status/hangup on making these available?  So much awesome code that people are missing out on.  Is anyone selling them?  I don't see any advertisement, sales page, or any discussion about SoftDisk whatsoever, and when it is seldom mentioned, the thread ends quickly.
