This sounds like the best so far. But you still might want to make a
size limitation, like the total must be less than 200K or so unzipped.

I saw (was it on p.b.t?) a link to a 9MB tutorial in Word format. I
wouldn't reject its "deserving to be" 9MB out of hand. But I'm also
loathe to d/l it as a run of the mill pov user.
The tutorial collection is actually the one I'm least confident in, in
that my intrusion into this area may be the least value-add to the pov
community. In other words, the tut collection is the prong of the 10 best
CD project which I'd consider dropping with the least 'hurt feelings' on
my part. I think it would be of greatest value to the customer to have
unzipped, html, web-ring-like pages for browsing. A subdirectory of
"here's 200 zipped files in 37 different formats; browse at your own risk"
is of such little value that I think it would be a waste to put on a CD. .

I wonder how big it would be if it was converted to HTML...
OK, how about this: Set a "maximum size" *guideline*. If you start to
run out of space, tutorials above this size will be first candidates for
removal.

If it is any encouragement, I think a tutorial collection on the CD is a
great idea, and potentially quite valuable.

I didn't say the tutorials should be zipped on the CD, or in different
formats. I was talking about the uncompressed size of complete HTML
tutorials, including images, other binaries, and text files.
Having all the HTML tutorials be linked together could is a very nice
idea, but they should probably be independantly useable as well, so you
don't have to have the CD inserted, but could put the ones you want on
your HD.
