To be truthful, I never saw any of the commercial M18 courses from Accolade,
but if I remember correctly, they were all "real" courses. If you run across
a St Andrew's course, it could be commercial, but all the wild and wacky
ones, like Sunova Beach (say it fast) are pd.

Many of the courses I got were indeed for the IBM version. If I remember
right, the IIGS versions can be either BIN or TXT filetype.
