I think it sounds reasonable to distribute these large demos separately;
especially considering that you will need 8 Megs of memory, most people won't
be able to enjoy that demo even if they do get it. (The demo actually comes on 
ten disks, not 8... I meant to say "requires 8 Megs of memory and comes 
on 10 disks.")

By the way, thanks, Fred, for making the demos available so quickly!
The rest of the demos will be on their way to you within the week.
