Hmm. Yes, that's very interesting. I saved a copy, although Adobe apparently thinks that was illegal of me: """ No part of this publication (whether in hardcopy or electronic form) may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form, or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Adobe Systems Incorporated. Please note that the content in this guide is protected under copyright law even if it is not distributed with software that includes an end user license agreement. """ That's cute wording, isn't it? Doesn't that pretty much debar saving the file on my hard drive? Surely that's a "retrieval system"? Which says they're trying to deny certain fair use rights, as I read it. In any case, this may be one reason it's so hard to find, since no one is legally allowed to mirror it. I accessed this without registering because you provided a deep-link, but normally, Adobe makes you go through a forms process to get this far, AFAICT. That's probably why Google can't find it, too. So, yeah, it's there. And that's better than I thought. But it still doesn't quite give me warm-fuzzies. ;-) Cheers, Terry -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
