>> Did I get this right?
>> Because some company bought the educational material, that was once sold

>> If this is so we need to start our own files.
>> What is it with BAMA?
>> The copyrights on those manuals must be expired by now.
>> Does the company that bought the rights to the material plan on selling 
>> the manuals or just keep them out of the hand of HAMS?
>> Does anyone have more information on this?
