- I was aware of this, but it poses 2 problems: 1) the readers that come with
- the kits are scaled down versions that don't allow full functionality (no
- electronic searches for one thing); 2) in my situation, I get all MVS
- products thru my Chancellors Office, so they order CBIPOs, build the
- systems, and distribute them to about 8 of us campuses; therefore they would
- get any CD orders that would come with the product. But all 8 of us are have
- at least 2 complete manual sets with SLSS.

- Thanks for trying anyway Bill.
