I do not know about the CDROM. Like all the docs I have, Al has free reign on them if he wants to pay shipping (and I am not sure when I am making another California trip). This year I plan on actually organizing the library. -- Will -- Will -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
