That's the first I heard of a FB2 CD.   I have one of the early releases of
FB2 on floppies and I've patched both FB2 and PG so many times, both with
the updaters and by following the tech notes, I'm not sure what I have.
Staz was generous to send floppy upgrades with his last catalog, but if
Staz ever decides to make the FB2 CD-ROM a purchaseable upgrade for FB2
owners I'd be interested.

Also, speaking of updaters, as of 1/23/98, the FB2/PG updater (changed
12/18/97) link on the web page points to a nonexistant file at the FTP site
and the FB2/PG updater on the FTP site is the old one from last year
(fbupdater2_18_97.sea).  Also the STAZ extras updater (changed 1/22/98)
link points to a nonexistant file and the correct file is misnamed at the
FTP site, should be something like STAZ Extras-980122.sea but instead has
97 in the name.

Sorry, if this has been fixed already, I'm typing this offline (Netscape
3.0 combined with Eudora Pro 4.0 demo crashed me when I was typing this
on-line) so I'm a little fuzzy on the exact filenames.
