I was hoping a response to this would be posted, but haven't seen one,
so any reply must have been by mail.

Could someone post this information?  Until I find out how to do this,
the demo disk is a useless file taking up space on my disk...

This isn't good enough to make a demo disk, is it?  It needs to be
non-DOS, right?

Has this been done?

Thanx in advance for any help.
