They even decompressed all those annoying archives too. Note thayt the ad 
says 360 disks, but 400+ megs of software. This is a dead giveaway. 
BTW...they also fooled around with the script files so that they would 
work properly for the way the CD-ROM is set up. Does anyone know if the 
CD-ROM is partitioned or if each disk has it's own dir?
