That really sounds reasonable to me, honestly. I mean, the dealers don't really have the capacity to deal with several hundred users coming in every day and spending an hour copying the things. Doesn't it make more sense to pay the $20 (for 12 disks, after all)? You get to keep the disks.... :-) Anton +---------------------------+------------------+-------------+----------------+ | Anton Rang (grad student) | rang@cs.wisc.edu | UW--Madison | "VMS Forever!" | +---------------------------+------------------+-------------+----------------+

If you're a BMUG member or wannabe member, call 415-419-3813. $25 for us members, more for non-members. You give them credit card #, etc at that number (it was on an answering machine when I called). They tell you about joining BMUG, if you aren't anointed yet. I don't remember hearing whether they'd handle overseas requests. Scott Bayes
