Sorry George, but I have yet another question.

Do we HAVE to use the batch file method of preloading?  Would it be possible
to put my graphics/sound files in a sub-directory on the CD and load the
files from within the program using CdReadFile()? (Just like we do for the
standard sound files etc.) We could even agree to use our member IDs for
sub-directory name to save any name confilcts on disk!  All my programs are
designed to work this way.  In fact a couple of projects I've been working on
need to do this as I can't fit it all the main RAM at the same time.
Obviously I can provide a batch file which loads the executable only.
