Yeah, I think that's right. I mentioned a few weeks ago that a dealer
told me that it would be available by July.

Thanks for the info, we'll be watching for it.  Now if I could only
find _The Single File_ on LD.  Does anybody have an import LD catalog
that lists it?  Does anyone know if it's true that _Hair of the Hound_
is/was available as an import in CAV format?  (For you non-laserheads
CAV is the Laser Disc format that allows full special effects.)

CX encoding is a special noise reduction encoding used on the analog
audio track of the LD.  I don't think many people use the analog
soundtrack now that almost all players have digital sound built in.
