the same CDROM is supplied inside and outside the USA.  you can order
by telephone.  on the plan9.att.com distribution page several
numbers are listed.  pick the one appropriate for your area.

i placed an order recently.  they do know about Plan 9 on the International number.
(`about' its existence, i mean; don't ask them how the mount driver works.)

you can place an order using any of the common credit cards.  3 to 5 day FEDEX
shipping was an extra $33 for me (for one full kit and an extra manual set).
i think the other shipping option was surface (too slow).

the package arrived less than a week after i'd ordered it.  unfortunately,
they shipped it to the house across the street, where it is stuck until
the owners return from holiday (someone there did sign for it...).

>>Oh yes, one other thing.  They said it wasn't available until next June!

it is supposed to be published here then.  meanwhile, order direct from Harcourt Brace & Co.
in Florida.
