It is illegal for W.C. to sell pre-2.0R cdrom's due to an agreement as previous releases are based on code ``tainted'' with USL/AT&T/Novell/(whoever holds the copyright this nanosecond) intellictual property. I would be VERY surprised if you can find many places willing to give / sell you 4.3 based code, even if you have a USL source licence. Gary
