As David pointed out, making the CD's was difficult - I guess primarily
because I didn't want to just dump the data onto the CD. I wanted to try to
identify the same entrant across all rounds and years  (this was more
difficult than it sounds) so as to maintain a list of entries and results,
and I wanted to re-format the text entry files into HTML (again, more
difficult than it sounds, especially with the changes made to the files by
the IRTC submission system - stripping high characters, re-wrapping the
text, and so forth). In the end I just couldn't justify the time.
