I searched on the web for 6 hours and got nothing of any use.
I have had very much help from the Linux platform and perhaps this might
help me also. (sorry for the flames it caused)

Yes I am aware of that, and perhaps someone running Linux on a PC might
sell his license to me.

I am a Buddhist monk, and my daily duty is to encourage persons
not to "kill" "steal" etc.
so how can I run unlicensed software (double morals, isn't it)
I run a number of "free mail servers" in Sri Lanka,
all of them have Linux and qmail,
but we also need Windows as most persons are only used to Windows.
Sri Lanka is not a very rich country and we cannot afford very much,
that is how I am thinking of buying some second hand licensed software.
People are upgrading to other systems.
Many persons on Linux machines would have licenses,
and would perhaps sell them to me.
Perhaps others could put me onto some place where I could get it without
having to pay for New Software.
Please drop me a line if you can help.
All I need is a Original CD and the License documents
No books etc.
Again my apology for this on this list.
Best regards
Jacob

Whosoever, by a good deed, covers the evil done, such a one illuminates this world
like the moon freed from clouds.
