Sorry to be causing you so much heartache, Bill - I just went to what 
was listed as the Asimov mirror and downloaded the lot (start of the 
month, and a new unlimited GB account means ground's next) - in all, 
800MB, compresses down to 650-680MB in Mac format disk images, can 
probably do .zip files to about the same.

I am totally unwilling to do any pruning, I'm just too busy. As for CD 
distribution, it would be only to fellow Australians (makes payment 
easier), and only if someone can tell me the legal status of sending 
them out in that way for a nominal fee (from the point of view of 
distributing the asimov collection, as well as from the point of view of 
distributing the individual items). For those wishing to compare their 
collections to mine, I can e-mail a directory listing of what I have.

Hope that's of use.

Regards

Sean
