I might be wrong, but my impression was that this was not the Bentley
"on CD" but instead a CD version of the dealer microfiche repair
information.  Maybe just two different formats of the same thing, but
then again maybe the dealers had detail that is not in the Bentley?

I'm just trying to find out whether it's worth the extra $40 this
would cost.
