My understanding of the legal situation is that what's circulating around the net in plain text form is *draft* versions of the spec. It is okay to redistribute these freely. The *official* version you are supposed to pay for. No, I don't know how close the drafts really are to the final. Personally I tend to consult the draft versions more than the PDF versions anyway, because it's vastly easier to search flat ASCII files than PDFs ... so I sure hope they're pretty close ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
