What you will find there is the contents of the CD. I got the CD from walnut Creek. Later on, after a position move I looked back in the web for any updates and came to this URL which after comparison with the CD turned out to have the same contents. If you want the CD, you can download the URL tree and burn one yourself, or I may convert the CD to an image and put it somewhere if that's too onerous. BTW, under Linux I don't care about DD'ing with block sizes CDs. I just cp /dev/cdrom image.iso Oh well, maybe blocking is lost, but the stream of bytes remains, and blocking is restored when cdrecord burns the image back. I seem to remember having done the same in other Unices as well... and even on VMS. j -- These opinions are mine and only mine. Hey man, I saw them first! José R.
