Thanks, but I already posted that link. That's what the discussion was about; whether a book or the CD was better. BTW, on my copy of the Burlington disk that's a 41 meg file. I don't know that my mail server would take it anyway. I suppose you could put it on an FTP server, but strictly speaking it wouldn't be legal to send someone else the whole thing, I'd think.
