One recent experience with a CD-ROM disk illustrates the need for this.  At
the last National Apple Users Group Conference, a CD-ROM disk was published
with lots of Apple II material on it.  Many user Groups bought this disk.  One
of the first things our user group did was try and run Glen Bredon's
Information Desk so we could get info and a printout of exactly what was on
the disk.  Unfortunately, Information Desk is an 8-bit program, so we could
only printout what was on the first 2 of the 8 volumes on the CD-ROM disk. 
Only after much work were we able to get the printouts for the other volumes.
