That's not a bad idea at all.  Because before I had an isp, I couldn't get
programs home from the library computer that were any bigger than a floppy, and
even getting hold of Winboard was a task.  And there were programs like Comet
that I had to use very old versions of, just to get them home.

I'd recommend packaging the programs with an init file all ready edited
together, and maybe an engine addapter for each one.

What, are you saying that there allready _was_ such a CD available (other than
Young Talants)??  I could have used such a thing a couple of years ago,
especially if it had Winboard itself as part of the package.  Include Winboard
and you've got a killer package, I personally wouldn't be as worried about
supplying more engines for Fritz users.
