And for which OS would that be?
I'm sure I would not be able to use it. That's okay, but don't expect
me to buy it, and if some of the material would be accessible only from
that CD-ROM that I could not use I'm sure there are ways to extract the
data ... Then it would have been contraproductive: I would steal the
information which I would have bought had it been published in a way I
can work with.
So better drop all these CD-ROM-suggestiions and make up some good
books. Majke up new editions of old books and adventures, and if you
don't have the potential to do so then just let it be - you also would
perhaps not to be able to make a good electronic publication.
