TANSTAAFL Its only "free" for 14 days. Then its $19.95 /month and up. I don't begrudge them their business though. I have seen various bootleg copies mounted to the internet before. Be aware that is copyright infringement and the O'Reilly police will get you.	[reply]

Aha! My apologies to everyone to whom I said that it was available for free. It seems that I have access to the material because my provider (MIT) subscribes or something. Thanks.	[reply]

You will also need to put "`use Win32;`" in your script before you call the function. I don't think you'll need to PPM it, I believe its one of the core modules.	[reply] [d/l]
