I think this holds for anything after disk ?57, when Fred said that anything
not PD was sent directly to him with a request that it be widely distributed.
Under those conditions, you could consider Xetec as providing a service
(ie duplication) to Fred. To be fair, I think the CD's should really
be widely distributed and not part of a package deal. I suspect it won't
matter very much, because others are making compilation CD's anyway.
