To be exact, Swartz sent me a CD-ROM which I was totally unable to read. I could not even read the directory.

I have had bad experiences with CD-ROMs. There seem to be three or four different, mutually incompatible formats: ISO, SIF, UDF and so on. Swartz sent to the CD-ROM because his files are very big and could not be e-mailed. When people wish to send large files now, I recommend they combine the files together with pkzip and then upload the zip file to a web page somewhere. Most web pages have 10 MB or more free space. You give me the URL and I download the file. I have done this several times successfully.

I recommended this method to Swartz, and I also suggested he try another CD-ROM, but he did not respond.
