    Welp, I did it, I filled EZ-ROM CD-ROM Door to the max of 228 Shareware CDs. <tear> ;)

    Congrats. I know you didn't write the program, but I wonder where / why
    they used 228 as the max number of cd's.

    That's the kind of crazy that lives in my head.

    We got in touch with him a few months ago (Tim Witson and myself), and got reg codes for it. He had random CD numbers increasing for each release (maybe a memory issue when compiling?). This one not being released to the public until we got it (from 1999). I asked him if he could update it to 300 or 350 and he said he would have to install pascal again, as he only makes actual windows programs now. So it's doubtful it will happen. :(

    I wonder if he'd be open to open-sourcing it or at least sharing the source somehow so that someone else could update it if desired.

    I asked, he turned me down. I asked if I could do it, and he turned me down. So I doubt it. Weird, as it's not something he's interested in working on anymore. :(
