If I ask my local AppleCentre about it I can't get it. If I ring Apple UK they don't know anything about it and someone digs up a US phone number. Meanwhile it's legally available on anonymous ftp from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu (you read it here folks) together with a notice saying you can only use it with one (free) product. These must be the same people who decided athena could put crypt() on ftp provided there was a notice asking us not to use it as it would violate US national security :-) John
