Disks 229-236 are now available. All preordered disks have been
duplicated, packaged, and will go in the mail tomorrow.
With this batch of disks, there is an additional rate noted in the
GeneralInfo file, starting with disk 236. The per disk rate for orders
of the complete library is now only $2 per disk. This applies ONLY to
orders of disks 1-XXX where XXX is the last disk released within the last
couple of months (I.E. 1-228 would be ok, 1-100 would not, nor would 1-500).
This is intended to help reduce the initial startup costs for new user
groups, dealers, developers, etc, that wish to have a complete library.
Note that you can get a copy of the catalog (2 disks) of the complete
library contents by sending two blank disks and $1 for postage to:

Thanks to all who submitted new and interesting material. If you submitted
something in the past and it has not yet appeared in the library, please
feel free to resubmit it, particularly if it was several months ago. I
sometimes hesitate to include material submitted more than about six
months ago because of some vague feeling that as soon as I include version
1.01 submitted many months ago, I'll see version 5.23 posted on usenet.

mode CRCs are portable for files that are moved from

program also on this disk. These were made directly from
my master disks. I have switched to brik, from the crc

because it has more features and because source is
available.
