Wouldn't you know...

Agh.

Here's the situation: I have (had) an extensive collection of Infocom
adventures. Played them all and finished most - Stationfall with
teary eyes, A Mind Forver Voyaging with a friend in a 24-hour session
and Lurking Horror alone in my father's attick come to mind :).

I recently moved from my old digs to a new house, and I decided to dig
up the old Infocom boxes and transfer everything to my new place.

Imagine my horror! A horde of marauding cleaning people had gone
through my room and piled all my disks in neat stacks on my desk,
which is in front of a window.

The summer having been very hot, and noone having thought of drawing
the curtains, my (5 1/4) disks were all curled up and - even after
carefully cutting them open and putting them in new jackets -
completely lost.

Now I can live with the thought of never being able to install
DataPerfect 1.0, but losing my Infocom adventures...

I do still have all the boxes - Leather Godesses! Bureacracy! - but I
can't play anything anymore.

I know there's supposed to be a "Lost Treasures of Infocom" CD
somewhere. Is there any way I can order it or somehow get it in
Belgium?

Or, failing that, does anyone feel like sending me the z-files of the
stuff I lost?

I'd really like to talk to Floyd again...
