I heard of one that includes a copy of the TSR on each disk, unless
you tell it you won't need it... so when you put it in another disk
drive, the user sees:


Volume in drive A is SOMETHING

RUNME    EXE   some figures

1 file(s) xxxx bytes

    xxx bytes free

The data is in a hidden file, compressed...



Whoops, that was completely off topic :-(
