That _was_ a helpful reply. Most in this forum are very much against
sharing commercial software, even if it is just a ridiculous
techinical violation. This is partly due to severe abuse of sharing
seen elsewhere, which sometimes overflows to here. Since some people
are quite clueless about this, we all want to be very clear that even
asking is not acceptable. But hey, if I had it I'd share it with you
privately, I appreciate your pain. Saturday Night Live used to have
skits about People Who Ruined It For Everyone.
