Hmmm... I wonder if simtel.galilei.com had the whole
collection. I downloaded everything they had under the
msdos directory, and got this:
FINISHED --17:00:32--
Downloaded: 1,884,283,743 bytes in 12755 files
Is that all? Wasn't someone talking about 2.8 GB?

but sure, that would certainly fit on 3 CDs.
I guess if I'd left out the 2 second pause between
each file, I'd have gotten the whole thing in 11 hours
instead of 18.
