The Mean 18 courses themselves are probably public domain. Accolade did
however release a few disks of M18 course disks, that are professionally
done. But, there are zillions of M18 public domain course disks.

A word of warning...Use a ProDOS-8 based copy program when copying courses
from one disk to another. When using a GS/OS copy utility, it'll sparse the
files and they will no longer work correctly.
