	Neither of my ROM 01 systems are hardrive equipped, so I can only
run the demo with two 800k floppy drives. Using the single drive option causes
the jazz-music to become distorted at the intro, and then it completely crashes
when it tries to the load next demo segment (spinning GS with female voice
over). My ROM 3 has two 800k floppy drives and will (very soon!) have a hardrive
connected, but the demo isn't compatible with the newer ROM version.. :/

	Done! :) I've made it available on the ccosun.caltech.edu FTP site.
Look for it in pub/apple2/uploads, filename "M.V.Souris.shk". It seems 
System 6.0.1/HD friendly and runs on both ROM versions. 

	If any out there has the other Apple IIgs dealer demos, please make
them available to us (they do exist).
