Damn it.  For years I have a box with this stuff in the same place and
then I go looking for it and it's not there anymore.  In the course of
looking, I happen upon a disk that was a BIX (Byte Information Exchange)
simulation disk that was interesting and put it to the side, but in the
course of moving more boxes around it too disappeared.  I seem to have a
Bermuda Triangle of sorts in that particular area of the warehouse.

Anyway, if I end up finding the Prodigy demo someday I'll be sure to
mention it.
