[NTLK] Circa 1998 web & ftp archive found, uploaded

[Tim Johnson]

Ah, I think I know what happened.  I've now uploaded ZIP versions of the remaining two discs.  These should be easier to browse/work with.  Lots of interesting stuff in here.

(The original discs were in CD-ROM XA format;  the images were .toast images;  I renamed them to .iso before uploading;  modern OSes seem to not be happy mounting XA images?)

Unfortunately the ISOs right now don't seem to be showing their contents using this feature; that may be due to the fact that the item is still going through post-processing, or it may indicate that these ISOs will need to be downloaded in order to be browsed.
