Subject: Fwd: New Topo Mapping CDs
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
About six weeks ago I posted the material below announcing a group purchase
of Mapping software. There are still two more spots open if you wish to
participate, send me an email. I am limiting this to 7 list members in total.
As discussed below, this is copyrighted software, so we are all sharing the
same set of original disks and you should uninstall any software from your
computer before forwarding these original disks on the next list member.
Because of the sharing, keep in mind that it it may be some time until the
original disks make it your way through the other members.
Background from the original post that you responded to is reproduced
below. There are somewhere around 7 CD-ROMs for Windows environment only.
These cover the entire US, so it took me quite some time of getting
everything ready.
