Ah, but notice I didn't say full-time business. If he ran a BBS, he could do the necessary organization for the disks as part of the BBS maintainance. It would require some careful planning and some automation beyond his existing database setups, but it can be done. When new uploads are approved you can then make sure it has the necessary "contents" description and allocate space for it on disk #xxx. Most Amiga sysops are already duplicating Fred's efforts every time we receive a new upload (we check the description, the file itself, and catalog it into the proper category); It's true the most sysops don't check for infected programs to the extent that Fred does, but if its for a pay BBS then it'll be worth the time. The value-added issue wouldn't be so tough if he were the one offering the CDROMs. I hope Fred _doesn't_ turn the collection over to Hypermedia.. They seem rather disorganized; They lost my upgrade order for months (stupid especially considering it was COD, but they didn't seem to want or need the money). -Chris
