Yes to both questions.  I called Sydex on Friday, and their numbers are
disconnected (voice and bbs).  Information of that area code shows no listing.

yup, if you really want to do it, I'll dig it up and put it on a local

better) compression via zip.  The only sure fire way to insure the td0 
is good is to make it a policy to run crccheck.exe each time.
