We seem to have a 'where can I find a Starcraft CD, I lost mine years ago' thread once a month around here, so this might be welcome news for some.

- patch 1.15.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature Changes
- StarCraft and StarCraft: BroodWar no longer require the CD while playing the
game. To play without the CD, please follow the following instructions:
- Windows Users:
- Make sure you have 'Hide extensions for known types' unchecked under
Explorer Folder Options.
- If you own only StarCraft, copy 'INSTALL.EXE' from the StarCraft CD to
your StarCraft folder and rename it to 'StarCraft.mpq'.
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy 'INSTALL.EXE' from the StarCraft:
Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to 'BroodWar.mpq'.
- Mac users:
- If you own only StarCraft, copy 'StarCraft Archive' from the StarCraft CD
to your StarCraft folder.
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy 'Brood War Archive' from the
StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder.
