The file on the cd is the exact copy of the book so there is no difference between whether the book is better or the cd is better. The pdf file I was offering to send is not the file off the cd but the information that I compiled on chart number 20 of the french family association. It is my own files converted to pdf. I withdraw my offer to send you any file. It is perfectlly legal for me to send my own files to anyone I want. I am smart enough to now that it is illegal to send anyone files off of a cd. jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "DAVE DARDINGER" <dedmod@msn.com> To: <french@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 2:23 PM Subject: Re: [FRENCH] French Family Association > Thanks, but I already posted that link.
