     Well, we already knew that 'Arlen Holder' wants/demands all software   
   for free, but now he even wants to pirate copyrighted material!   
      
     In his OP, he said:   
      
   > I couldn't find an out-of-print book online no matter how hard I tried.   
      
     The "out-of-print" sort of implied that it wasn't available, but the   
   facts show it *is* available and it's even available "online", but just   
   not for free - but cheap - and (AFAWK) not in electronic form.   
      
     I'm sorry that I fell for his scam.
