  One use of the extra space on the CD-ROM would be to provide compressed
versions of the directories on each Fish Disk.  This would permit easy
downloading of complete programs with source and docs.  I am sure that
one large market for the Fish CD-ROM would be for sysops who can then
provide the entire collection for downloading.  Imagine trying to download
a program with many small files one file at a time.
