MegaDisc Digests
These disks are not PD, but they are inexpensive and great value for money.
The disks are packed full of articles etc (for example, the MD.Articles
disks each contain about 120 articles and MegaBites), all categorised and
listed in a HyperBook Reference Guide to make it easier to find individual
articles. There is a separate beginners section in the Reference Guide,
highlighting those articles most suitable for beginners.
