The CD-ROM of CD-ROMs, a multimedia directory of CD-ROMs on a CD-ROM will be released in June. The first version will only run under WINDOWS 3.1, but later versions will run on the MAC and other platforms. This is a multimedia directory of titles, companies, distributors, and things related to CD-ROM and to multimedia. Color photos of the packaging, screen shots, sound and running demos will be on the disc along with shareware and free ware related to CD-ROM. Also spec sheets for the popular CD-ROM drives, technical data, company press releases, etc. One of the main features of this disc is that there are multiple reviews appended to hundreds of titles. You will be able to see what the guru's of the industry think about the various titles. Better, there will be multiple reviews on many of the same titles so you can get second, third, fourth and so on opinions. If interested, please check out the CoC DIRECTORY file in the MARKETPLACE Library. Rgds Jan

Rich, Hi! The name of the file in MARKETPLACE is "CoC DIRECTORY". BTW, I'll be sending in an application to join OPA this week. Is it still $85? Rgds Jan

Jan: I suggest you put message into a file in the Marketplace library. It will be accessible longer there. Yes, membership is still $85, domestic, and I look forward to having you aboard! Best – Rich

Rich, Thanks for the info. I had tried to send a message to the Library, then realized that I was doing it wrong (trying to get used to this WINDOWS CIM). At any rate, I have now "contributed" a file to Marketplace and hope I did it right this time. Thanks also for info on OPA, will be sending in app right away. Rgds Jan P.S. Are you noticing a down-turn in interest in the forum? It seems like the market is cooling off also. I'm hoping that someone will release some dynamite product that will jolt it again. Any news or ideas of what that might possibly be? J
