That wouldn't accomplish anything, really. They could still copy the files. If I locked down viewing and printing I guess I could provide passwords for people who download the files, but then that would presumably have included the people who are now selling them. And really, I don't want to prevent people from copying and distributing these files; I'd like to *encourage* it, in fact. I just don't want people charging money for it. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
