- I checked into this, and it appears that the answer you were given
- wasn't right. I've appended the answer I was given from Microsoft Ltd

- You'll see that they're giving preference on the kits to attendees of
- their seminars (which makes sense, its what we did) and then they're going
- to be available to all. Personally, I'd recommend going to a seminar to
- anyone who is serious about Win32 application development. There's just so
- much information to pick up, and taking it point-blank from the cd-rom with
- or without docs isn't a fast thing - there seminars are very reasonably priced
- as well

- ============================================================================
- These CD's will be readily and easily available in the UK.
-
- We will run a series of half day Win32 developer seminars, starting as
- soon as we have these kits in the UK, and every delegate will walk away
- with a kit. We want to encourage all developers to attend one of these
- seminars to get a call to action on porting 3.1 apps and to preempt the
- support calls we would otherwise get from developers.
-
- When the seminars are over there will also be a number where the kits
- can be ordered directly by developers.
-
- Seminar Dates are: Aug 20th - London
- Aug 26th - Dublin
- Sep 8th - Edinburgh
- Sep 10th - Manchester
-
- The number to register an get more information on the seminars is: 0256 381100
-
- Cost of seminar is 175 Pounds or 145 Pounds for members of our UK MS
- Developer Network.
