HDB for the 3b1 is NOT available.  It is not for sale.  It is not
obtainable.  It has never been released to the public in any form,
with one "minor" exception.

A version was once made available through The Store!.  This was
technically a mistake, but there you go.  By posted and public policy,
_anything_ obtained from The Store! is completed unsupported and use
at your own risk.  The Hotline, if it acknowledges it, will not answer
any questions on it.

Technically, HDB for the 3b1 does not exist (even though a lot of
people have it :-)

However, if you own or buy a Unix Source license, it _is_ possible to
purchase the source for HoneyDanBer, as I understand it.  But, it
probably wouldn't be worth the cost for you...
