Sorry to butt in again, but I fear it might be me that started
the confusion:(  The '216d' release I was referring to was the
DIS216d.EXE sfx - this is where I found the readme.1st.

I suppose Demon assume that anyone d/loading NET upgrades will
already have all the docs etc. from a previous full package.

A case for including the salient docs in the NETxxx.ZIPs, maybe?
