This brings up a good point. It does seem a shame for all the profit from
the collective work of the IF authors and the archivist to go to the
company that's publishing the CD-Rom. Given that Jason was already
thinking of putting together an IF CD-ROM, Jason and VOlker may want
to get together and see if they can get the two potential publishers
to bid against each other. At the very least, I'd like to see some of
the profit go towards the upkeep of the archive--perhaps even to
provide a little financial renumeration to Volker for all his hard
work.
