>> They're (justifiably) worried about making it easier to rip off the data on the disc.<< Maybe I'm thick or something but how would having a list of the models enable one to rip off the data? What I had in mind is something like: I. Cars: Camaro Ford Pickup Porsche 944 Mustang Dodge Van 2. Fruit: Apple Orange Banana 3. Furniture Chair Desk Table This would give some idea what models are on the CD and would make a great sales tool. For instance: I need a carrot and a yard tractor for two projects I'm working on now. I'f I knew you had a yard tractor on the CD or even a full blown Peterbuilt tractor I would go for the CD as soon as my contract is signed. But if you are telling me that you have a CD and it has some music on it but you can't tell me what music selections there are because it's secret then I can't see buying it as a surprize package. A book like the Corel Draw CD-ROM guide is invaluable for my clients to browse through but without at least a listing of the contents I probably wouldn't have purchased it in the first place. Another problem I have experienced with clip art in the past is the files on the disk were compressed with file names like PICT01; PICT02; PICT03 etc. With no translation or listing it was a nightmare to use and I swore I would never invest in clipart again without knowledge of the content. Just a point of view from a potential customer.
