Phrim, the same question was asked on
this thread on the Novices and Newcomers forum. It in turn links to
this thread, which is a previous discussion on the topic here on the Books forum. Since the information we have on this topic is too sparse to warrant a second discussion, I'm closing this thread. Those who wish can continue on the second thread. Thanks!
