[SEL] GEM on CD

[Rob Skinner]

Yeah, it's a really nice arrangement.  Everyone who ever has reason to  
crack open the BYB can benefit from a copy of GEM on disc.

I've copied all the discs to my hard drive, so I don't have to futz  
around with discs.  To browse or search, I open up that particular  
folder, and it behaves as if I had that disc stuffed into my DVD drive  
bay.  One weakness is that it should be possible to copy all the CD's  
to one directory on your hard drive, then do ONE search across all the  
volumes.  I can't figure out how to do this.

Even so, you NEED to get the set.
