Jim, I don't know what Behr's policy is concerning distribution of their installaton manual. I imagine, any existing company would frown on sharing of their literature with some control from them. My point is to avoid the possibiity that a sites gets taken down by some corporate attorney, it's best to keep this sort of information as private as possible. remember what happened to the sites allowing download of ETKA & Bentley? At any rate, the link that Rob posted was the one I sent him via pmail.
