I'll betcha that xetec DIDN't modify any of the disks at all. That would have been a lot of trouble to go to. I think they probably just made 360 directories and copied the disks verbatim to those directories. The same for the rest of the software on the disc. The root directory probably looks like this Fish001/ Fish002/ Fish003/ ..etc -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.
