        People have been talking about the various files in the 
archives.  Cloudbusting is currently 2 megs, Deeper Understanding will 
be about 5 megs, and "The Garden" is about 2 megs (if you include the 
un-edited interviews, it will be even larger if we add all the ones 
I've typed in).  So that comes to about 10 megs total.  The archives of 
past messages are something like 70 megs.  SO that's less then 100 megs 
for everything, plus there would only need to be one version of the 
archives (TEXT :-).  The current "standard" for Cloudbusting, The 
Garden, and Deeper Understanding is Wordperfect, though only 
Cloudbusting makes much use of WP features like underlining, bold, etc. 
 I'm not sure if the Wordperfect version of Cloudbusting Edition 2 ever 
quite made it to the archives.  
        How much does it cost to make CDROMS?  How many people would be 
interested and capable of using one (I don't have a CDROM player 
myself!)  Fortunately the files are "relatively" small, so that if you 
have ten megs on your hard disk you can have everything, even less if 
you don't include the Garden "interview" files.
