Hey....
I -like- that idea! In fact, I like it a -lot!- I could really use an
updated copy, and if Sydex is selling 25-user licenses for $150, that would
cover at least half the folks on the list.
You should know that the commercial version of TeleDisk is a somewhat
different package than the old shareware one. Since it was intended for
software distribution by commercial entities, it consists of the TeleDisk
program which creates the disk image and a second program called TeleGet
- that was freely distributable - which will expand it and write it to
disk. DTC, for one, used it. I presume that the TeleDisk program also has
expand/write capabilities, but I'm not sure. Tim Shoppa???

Heck, I'll even volunteer to coordinate the
effort! Even if only five
people want to do it, that's only $30 per person (which I think we could
all afford). If we get 25 of us wanting to do it, that's a whopping $6 per
person.
OK... tell you what I can do. Would everyone who'd be interested in
chipping in for a new copy of Teledisk please drop me a private E-mail? I
can set up a log file (a spreadsheet, probably) with however many folks are
interested.
Once we get enough to justify this, I'll ask folks to send in a check.
I'll then chip in my own $$ and order the thing. Once I get it, I can
electronically distribute it to the contributors as a ZIPfile. If there's a
user's manual associated, I'll figure a way to scan it or get it into
electronic form somehow.
Let's see what happens...
