"Luser"'s PC system may be too old to support a CD burner. I don't
recall one way or the other. But for him, and for others with older
PCs, a reasonable alternative to CD's is a ZIP 100MB drive and ZIP
disks. At 100MB each, that's still a lot of CP/M files! And, external
parallel port (or SCSI) ZIP drives will run under MS-DOS, Win 3.1, Win
98 and later. And, ZIP's are supported by Macs, and under Linux also.

All the old used ZIP 100Mb drives are pretty cheap on the US market; I
sell them myself for a few tens of dollars, internal or external. I
don't sell the USB versions but I see them in US stores for $59 on
sale, $79 otherwise. And the disks are several dollars new and much
cheaper used.

If "Luser" asks me privately, I'll ship him a drive as he specifies.
