:      Frankly, the $12 fee doesn't seem all that excessive when you
:consider the .99 release of DOOM was divided into 3 "disks".  In fact that
:means that they were charging the standard $4 per disk fee.  Silly to pay
:that much of course, but some people are willing to do so.

but why distribute it on 3 disks when it comfortably fits into 2 ( being just over
2 megabytes ). I really dislike the shareware distribution places, but then
again a lot of people not having internet access have little choice.
