Info-Mac CD-ROM

A new CD-ROM containing 3,384 freeware and shareware Macintosh programs and
files has just been released.  The files were downloaded in August of 1992
from the Info-Mac archive on the Internet site sumex-aim.stanford.edu. 
The CD contains thousands of applications, desk accessories, games,
virus-detection programs and commercial demos.  It is also jam-packed with
graphics, sounds and Hypercard stacks.  For the more technically inclined,
there are source code samples and entire program listings as well as
technical documentation and discussions (Comp.Sys.Mac.Programmer, Tidbits,
Vaporware, Info-Mac).

All of the files have been debinhexed, dearchived and uncompressed, so many
of the programs can be run straight from the CD-ROM.  Because the archive
is constantly being updated, some of the files on the CD-ROM may already
be absent from the archive, and there will undoubtedly be some new files
in the archive that did not make it onto the disk. Nearly 3/4 of the files
that were on the archive in August 1992 are on the CD-ROM.  For those who
make heavy use of the digests, this CD-ROM should be a convenient medium
for searching and sifting through the information.

The CD was produced by some computer science students (Cliff and Joe) at
the University of Utah and is available from Pacific HiTech for $39.95
plus $5 (US) or $9 (int'l) shipping and handling.  For ordering

We would like to express our thanks to the many people on Internet who
provided suggestions, to the authors of the programs who were cooperative
and supportive, and to Bill Lipa, the Moderator of Info-Mac who was
generous in advice and encouragement.  (Please note,  however, that
neither the administrators of sumex-aim nor Stanford  University were
directly involved in producing this CD-ROM, and they are  not to be held
responsible for its distribution or use.)
