   When you look at history (the fights with various labels and the somewhat   
   acrimonious Herb Cohen departure) and consider how much of the info about   
   what was in The Vault and where was in FZ's head rather than written down   
   it wouldn't be at all surprising if rapidly publishing some of the rarer   
   and more desirable goodies was much harder and time-consuming than a lot   
   of fans realised.   
      
   Oh yeah, and what about the contents of the Synclavier. Apart from FZ and   
   David Ocker, who would know what is in it and how it was filed? How many   
   other people would know how to maintain and operate one?
