- Well if you email me a list of the titles that your company produces
- Doug then I will see that they are removed. We did not put the Cd
- togetehr to cause problems and at the time we were not aware that any of
- the titles on the CD were still being sold, there was no way we could
- contact all the authors to get permission etc so we just did it. If you
- want titles removed leave me names and I will see what I can do. :)
