Instructions: 6.5 gigs (all zip files). Some of these files also have box art. Catalogs: 1.25 gigs (all zip files) Most DVDs store 4.7 gigs. A double layer DVD (8+ gigs) would fit this all. "David "Fuzzy" Gregory" <crazylegoman@earthlink.net> wrote (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-05, to lugnet.general)
