      Thats if it is put on the CD as text. Most of these types are
nothing more than scanned pages, (graphic), that can not be
searched. Even the professional stuff (Michell) in its earlly form
had nothiing more than scanned pages, with page markers added. I
personally would not have payed 2 cents for it. Most mechanics didn't
know the difference.                 Eric
