Well, yeah, I guess it is a (c) violation.  However, we have purchased the
software, legally we are entitled to have the documentation for it.  

Microsoft won't supply us with it (according to the the person who wanted
this message written), so what choice does that leave us to get original
documentation?

Sure, 3rd party books are great, but it's my experience that they seldom
cover everything that is in the originals.  And often have misinterpreted the
originals about a fact or two (Not that originals are perfect, but... :) )

As to TDB or the like, well, we have purchased that too, but haven't had time
to get it installed and figured out on our equipment.  As such, it isn't being
taught in our classes yet.
