Do both. Why is there always this unspoken quest for a single
solution to all problems?


* Some need/want need bootable system disks.

* Some need/want to add programs to their running CP/M systems.

* Some need/want ...


I'm sure this thread will become as long and finely drawn (how's
that for a polite euphemism? :-) as all of them do, but it seems
quite pointless.

CP/M files available individually via ftp is useful. Sector-image
files are useful. Physical copies of original media is useful.
It's all useful.

Sheesh, every single CP/M program ever written by everyone
including every unshipped trivial revision of every single trivial
program including demos and pets, all told still can't tally up to
more than a few gigs or tens of gigs or maybe 100 gig. Eh.

Tempest in a teaspoon.
