- That's absolutely not real. You can get them (at least in germany) in every
- book store which gets his books from the KNoe book service (just looked
- in the actual 95/96 catalog), price:
- 73.-- DM Hardware, Devices
- 97.90 DM Includes & Autodocs
- 99,90 DM Libraries
- 55.-- DM Style Guide

- You have to be patient, they have told several times that they are only
- a relativ small company up to know. And you can get the NDUK if you know
- where (it has been posted several times).
