NO! The "Hobbes" CDROM disc is created by Walnut Creek software. It originally software found on the "hobbes.nmsu.edu" anonymous ftp site. However, this being an educational institution it quickly filled up and no one was willing to fork over more money for more disks. Walnut creek therefore took over, and hobbes closed it's doors so to speak, however they kept around what they had at that point. Recently (this school year), they removed all the stuff from that site. So now, the software contained on the "Hobbes" cdrom is ONLY ftp'able from ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/os2 (or a shortcut, ftp-os2.cdrom.com). The ftp-os2.nmsu.edu and hobbes.nmsu.edu do NOT contain the software found on the HOBBES cdrom. ---- Cris J H -- ================================================== = Christopher J.
