Hi:
I'm trying to track down a particular program from the Windows 95
beta program. I must have purged a bunch a while back by mistake.
Here's what I'm looking for...I can't remember if it's on the Win95
or DirectX beta disks, but it's some sort of space station demo that enables
you to access the various demo programs on the disk. Specifically, I'm
looking for the WAV and/or MIDI files from it.
If any remembers this and can put their hands on it, please let me
know off-list. Thanks.

I still happen to have the beta install set sitting here on my desk all
dusty and whatnot. I can't believe they are still around.
Anyway, if you give me an idea of what disk I should look on or what the
filenames might be then I'll try to investigate it and see if I can't find
the files you need.

Thanks. Actually after talking to John Faust last night I found the
disk...it was a "Microsoft Games Sampler" disk that came out after the W95
beta.

As I was telling Rich, I was an MSDN subscriber back in that day
and my packrat tendencies mean all those CDs are still sitting
in the basement. I was involved in the 3D realm, so I probably
have a number of early DirectX and Chromeffects betas.
Those CDs are there along with a zillion other 3D-related (CAD,
game development, 3D clip art, toy 3D packages, Hollywood-class
3D packages, etc.) I may have unloaded a few on eBay, but
not many.
