Admittedly, that is not much to ask for the  CD. However, I know that

My remark about posting your message to our group stands. And to the
regulars of the other groups in the crossposting, my apologies for
having to cross-post to contact Paul.
Paul, if you would like to continue this discussion, please take it to
email. My email address is real and un-munged (I have freeware that
deals with spam.)
