Questions about the DS9 Companion CDROM

[Navaros]

If any of you have the DS9 Companion CDROM, I'd appreciate if you could answer these questions about it for me:

1. Does it have any problems operating in modern OS'es like Windows XP?

2. Does it have all the pre-show trailers for every episode (which should have been on the DVDs IMO, but aren't )? What are the resolutions of these trailers?

3. Is it easy to copy and paste the contents of the scripts from that program directly into word-processors, forums, etc., or would it require me to manually re-type any portions I wanted to copy?

4. Is there any difference between the scripts on that CDROM and the scripts I could find online, like at this site, for example: http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/ds9/ ?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

2. There is a preview available for every episode. I am unsure if they are the same ones that aired on TV in every case. For example, I thought I remembered a special preview for the Final Chapter, but there is nothing like that on the disc.

Thanks for the info. I think I recall seeing what you are talking about a few times, which for many years was the only DS9-related trailer I'd ever seen because my local station would not air the 'normal' ones. That sucks that the special one is not on that disc.

How big is the image of the episode previews on the CDROM? The episode previews are also on the official site, however I want to watch them in full screen in all the glory as they are meant to be seen, not in a microscopic little image box with immensely annoying flash ads playing in the background to boot.

I'm wondering if that CDROM can solve that problem for me.

I'm afraid I could never get the CD to work on XP and above.
