HOLD EVERYTHING!!!  I just got a clarification from O'Reilly.  It is
the usual problems with exporting DES outside the US.  Otherwise,
everything is fine.  I'll be putting in my order for the CDROM and
book set first thing tomorrow morning...

I just spoke with someone intimately linked with what is on the
CD-ROM, and he assured me that, as far as domestic copies were
concerned, there were no omissions - the CD-ROM is a complete source
distribution of 4.4 BSD-Lite.  For international customers, the
CD-ROM is missing the data encryption sources, per US Government
export requirements.  Let me know if you need further information.
