Jim,

I don't know what Behr's policy is concerning distribution of their
installaton manual.
I imagine, any existing company would frown on sharing of their literature
with some
control from them. My point is to avoid the possibiity that a sites gets
taken down
by some corporate attorney, it's best to keep this sort of information as
private as
possible. remember what happened to the sites allowing download of ETKA &
Bentley?

At any rate, the link that Rob posted was the one I sent him via pmail.
