Lena: If he knows it coming out on a disk, it must mean that he has submitted FTM file at sometime and when it was put on disks for sale, he was notified. At least I found that out when I first started genealogy on the net and submitted to FTM. When it was put on a disk to be sold, they notified me. Otherwise I don't know anymore.
