I read about 80 GB. I propose to copy this catalog on a hard disc with
about 100 GB. If it´s FAT32, the disc should be readable by each Windows
PC. Linux distribution may be also possible.

I have changable hard disc drives at my PC. If someone can send me a copy
of the catalog I would copy them to hard disc for interested users in
Germany (and outside, but difficult with tax etc.).

Another way would it to copy it to DAT tapes using NT Backup format.

VBurning DVD or CD seems me a more time-consuming job as copy the data to a
hard disc or tapes...
