Sure. But a discreet http site which is not published will go under the radar.

I have the CDs online now. You can find them in these paths on DUSTY:: AXPBINMAR031: AXPBINMAR032: AXPBINMAR033: AXPBINMAR034: AXPBINMAR035: AXPBINMAR036: AXPBINMAR037: AXPBINMAR038: AXPBINMAR039: Note that there is a [CDROM] directory that has CDMENU.EXE that you can run on Alpha systems to see what's on the different discs. There are also: AXPDOCMAR031: AXPDOCMAR032: AXPDOCMAR033: which contain the documentation. These are Bookreader files and should be usable on VAX or Alpha with the appropriate setup. --Marc
