I remember years ago having this floppy disk which had a really cool interactive software catalog of various PD software. It also had a copy of the Frog Chorus in Digital Symphony format as well as a desktop silly with this red bug that walked around the screen.

Does anyone know the disk I'm talking about? I checked my archive of ADF disk images but I've not found the one. I also thought it might have been an ADPL disk, but I downloaded all of them from the site and can't seem to find the one.

Sounds like it might have been DataStream. Their catalogue was a Genesis application which had become very difficult to manage and was OK when people used older machines with MODE 12 screens but silly when the RPC arrived with bigger screens.

Just had a look and I've actually still got a copy and it even runs on RO6 but looks a bit silly stuck in the bottom LH corner of a 1920x1200 screen smile

Cool! And thanks for looking into this for me! Any chance you could upload an ADF image of the disk somewhere? Would really appreciate it.
