I've started doing just this on the futurebasic.org CDs; I figure someone 
may want to add other FB-parts, or whatever, and have a "single source 
CD" with everything they need on it... That also lets me burn FnJnIII as 
a separate session for buyers of it, rather than copying it onto and off 
of the futurebasic.org volume all the time. I'm a _little_ worried that 
there may still be some "single-session" drives out there, but if I hit 
one, I'll just send that person another CD.
